Arbuckle Wilderness

On our way home from our trip to TX, we drove through the Arbuckle Wilderness to see the animals. I know I went here a few times growing up, but I just don't remember that many animals and how they just come right up to the cars & even stick their head inside! I don't know who had more fun... the boys or myself! We each started off with a cup of food that we bought at the entrance going in. Kameron's cup was gone right away... he kept dumping it on the ground outside of the car. Bryan & my cup lasted about 3/4 of the way through. Kaleb had almost a 1/2 a cup left at the end... know why? Because he wouldn't feed them! After the giraffe got slobber all over the car and his cup, Kaleb said he didn't want anymore animal slobber on him. LOL! Have you ever seen a giraffe slobber? It comes out in a streaming line of spit that just flies in the wind... so, I can't say that I blame Kaleb for that one. It was pretty gross. I especially got nervous when he stuck his head into the sun roof of the car... I ducked and just hoped he didn't slobber on me. LOL!

So, here are a few parting shots...

And, my favorite of them all... I wish the camera had captured Kameron's face... hillarious!!!

Tuesday Happenings 7/1/08

Can you believe that 2008 is now 1/2 over??? Where does the time go?

Weight: Remember the 7lbs I gained last week at my girls retreat? I have lost 6 of those pounds. *Relief* I worked out 4 times last week and increased my running speed and distance. I dread getting on the treadmill but always feel so good when I am finished.

To-do: I'm still working on Chapt 4 of my Economics homework. I'm also still dealing with the girls insurance company about my car repairs. We had everything worked out yesterday but then they called me back and said an insurance auditor wants to come look at my car before they release the funds for repair. Maybe he's not satisfied with the estimate from the body shop?? OK, fine. Whatever it takes to get it fixed. He'll be at my work tomorrow to take a look. Workout 30 minutes of cardio and alternate arms/legs/abs strength training for 4 days this week.
