August continued

Ok so more of August. Curtis had to work a lot I mentioned and so one Saturday I was not about to hang out at the apt again so I decided to call up Julie to see if she wanted to hang out. We decided to go to the Alligator park. BOO! Julie was telling me about the one they had in Myrtle Beach that sounded so cool... this one was not as cool:( It was super pricey but not much to it. We got in - saw an alligator and that was about it - we were HIGHLY dissapointed and I was REALLY embarassed that I had suggested it. I mean we saw bigger alligators at Julie's house in Summerville! Their (the alligator people) only saving grace was a little learning show they did at the end. We got to pet a little Alligator, hold a snake and Piper got to hold a baby alligator, and they showed us Big Al which was a REALLY big alligator that the alligator man kissed. So that was cool.

Not sure why thse pictures wont rotate! but oh well, you get the gist right. Bailey, again, I think wanted to hold the alligator (the big one).



Her she is NOT excited that the snake is touching her - see the terror in her face!

Piper wasn't interested in holding the snake but thought she was REALLy cool to pet its head.

August

I was just looking through my pictures and saw some fun pictures of things we did in August and was wondering why I had never put them on the blog - SLACKER! August was a bust of a month for me personally because Curtis was working TONS. Like TONS +!! I'm not a fan of not seeing him that but whatever - He's an allstar and closed 18 houses!! Hooray for Curtis - he really is a FABULOUS builder! I'm glad I have him to build the rest of our houses for us (yes houses - I guess I have to get used to the fact that we will move a lot). Anyway, we tried to keep ourselves busy and LUCKILY we have Julie and the kids close by to play with. They invited us to go with them to the zoo in Houston and it was a blast. I just love love the picture of Rex and Piper on the fence. Piper just adores Rex and had so much fun with him and all the kids. There was a three month old elephant that was just SOOOOO fun to see! He was SOOOO cute and I seriously could have watched him ALL day. He was just so playful and curious. Bailey loved him too and I think wanted to hold him. Not sure how that would work.

There was a fun little petting zoo - always a hit - and they even had brushes for the kids to use on the goats. As I'm sure you can guess, Piper was in HEAVEN! It's hard to see in the picture but she has a brush in her one hand and was just going to town on that poor goat. I think she would have brushed it bald if I would have let her. Luckily I tore her away for this picture with the black goat. Isn't he a cute goat. Bailey of course loved petting them too - she is totally obsessed with dogs and I think she thought they were just big dogs.
All in all we had such a fun trip. I DEFINATLY want to take them back this fall/winter when it's cooler. Even though it was fun, it would be SOOO much better if it weren't 100 + degrees outside. Thanks for the fun trip Gerratts!
