A Day at the Wildlife World Zoo and Aquarium



Dwight, Tony, Rick, and Dylan looking at the meerkats (above picture).


The black geese are very beautiful. I have never seen black geese.

Rick and I

The train brought us through gates and right to the animals. First we saw the Ostrich.





We are still on the train here, but once we were off we went to feed the giraffes. Cynthia got an excited giraffe who wrapped its tongue around here whole hand. I must say it was one of the funniest things I have ever seen, that could be because Cynthia's reaction was panic.

This is the end of our pictures but not the end of our fun. The batteries in the camera died even though they were new batteries.
We did see zeebras, camels, porky pines, lions, and more tigers. They animals go on and on. We rode the sky ride which was a 15 min ride over the park. It was wonderful.
Once we finished with the animal park we visited the aquarium side. The first thing we did was went on the Log Flume Ride. This brought us through an aquarium and then we reach the drop and got wet.
We saw penguins, that was awesome, they would follow your hands outside the tank. We were able to touch sting rays. We also saw the white aligator.
It was an enjoyable day and we plan on doing it again next year.

Another Trip To Oceanside


This is a picture from the condo we stayed at. The picture is of Ruby's out on the pier.

This picture is a row of rentals right on the ocean. There are two rows and they are all painted the same.

We went to Oceanside with our friends Dwight and Cynthia. Dwight's parents own a condo on the beach so they invited us to spend the weekend with them. We had a blast. Two wonderful trips in one summer. We are very lucky to have such good friends to spend these outings with.

Rick Starts School



Although I am a little behind Rick started school almost three weeks ago. Rick chose to go back to school and get a degree in psychology. In the above pictures Rick is in class doing some of his assignments. Rick chose to get his associates degree the same way I did, through University of Phoenix online program. This program still gets you the same degree one would earn in the classroom but with a more flexible schedule. Rick is very excited to follow this path of his life and we are all very excited for him and ready to support him.
