This and That

Here are a couple of random photographs from last month...

This is the only shot I got from "Hollywild" an animal park somewhere north of Greenville. We used a Living Social deal or groupon or something... It was ok, the drive was more than an hour, and it was kind of depressing. Not the worst animal park I have seen, but I felt like maybe they kept the animals on shortish rations so that they would eat for the patrons. Because that was the big gimmick. You get to feed a lot of the petting zoo type animals. Also, you drive to a big pasture in a school bus with the windows cut out, and animals come up to the bus and you feed them bagels, crackers, and english muffins you purchase there. It was definitely fun for the kids. There are buffalo, cows, zebras, steers, and other grazing animals. I was surprised to find out that they let the animals breed and there are interspecies crosses. I'm not any sort of animal activist, but I was a little ambivalent on this one...


These pictures are from a stretch when Tony was in tech for two weeks in a row, and I was just trying to get through until bedtime. I consider watching TV and eating the ultimate cave-in at our house. We now have one DVD player for each kid. It boiled down to that or else we would spend forever swapping the DVD player and Tony's iPhone...
