Trip to Texas

I went to visit my sister in Texas at the end of April and had a great time.

She took me to see Alligators (and even had alligator kebabs – No it does not taste like chicken!).

We went to see the Salt Palace. It’s a house built entirely out of salt. Check it out here.

And I got to go to my brother in law’s wildlife refuge, Tiger Creek, to meet a few of the cats.

All of the cats were beautiful but the leopard, Cybil, and the Puma, Tin Cup, were my favorites. Have you ever been stalked by a leopard?

And the King of the jungle…

A Visitor From Afar

My grandma came to visit for a few days this week for my birthday. It was nice to just be able to spend time with her and for her to be included in our normal day to day family life. I took her shopping to some stores they don’t have where she lives and there was talk of a monthly shopping visit, hehe. The rain kept us from working in the yard / garden like we wanted to but provided lots of movie watching time. Aiden was glad to talk her ear off the entire time, and we were all sad to see her go. Hopefully she will have time to come visit again soon.
