.......and today I got to feed one!!!! Eeeee!!! Am still excited lots by it, we made it to the Adirondack Animal Land, which wasn't amazing, but had enough animals to entertain us for a good couple of hours! Obviously there were the very exciting giraffes (translation of 'gerfs' for those of you who don't know my baby brothers!), big one, a littler one and a baby one, possibly the cutest thing EVER! I gave the giraffes some crackers, and have exciting photo evidence of it yayyyy :) There's a facebook profile pic if I ever saw one!! I'm going to say again that I'll upload pics but as it would seem, that may never happen you'll just have to wait for them to go on facebook / for me to sit you down and show you my slideshow / scrapbook :) Other animals we saw included zebras, ostriches, bears, camels, ring tailed lemurs and black bellied goats, which I do believe I ate in Barbados and found to be delicious!!! Oh and there were also goats, chickens and cows which everyone found hilarious and not a real subsitute for lions and tigers! I saw and fed a giraffe though so I was happy with whatever else turned up!!
On the way up to the next town over to camp for dinner, we very excitingly got pulled over by Border Control!!! They checked all our passports and visas etc and then sent us on our way, but me and Joy (piano and voice teacher) got very overexcited at the fact it was happening! Joy also had to be severely dissuaded from taking photos given how well that went down at the social security office, so sadly we have no photo documentation of this :( We also got stopped on the way back to camp, a fact we pointed out to the 'bad cop' of the two on duty, who told us in a somewhat arsey voice that "we hadn't been southbound today, so he still needed to check us all" and could we pull over immediately. Luckily the 'good cop' in this routine lived up to his name and was lovely, giving Joy a 'cheeky wink' as we pulled away. While we were stopped we were all fascinated by a guy who was being given a drink driving 'walk in a straight line' test and so were paying no attention to the rude officer checking passports, which went down well!!
Came back to camp to find 2 lovely parcels, one containing an actual waterproof coat, not like the one I currently have which is just a regular coat masquerading under the illusion of being waterproof. I can assure you it is not. Even a little bit. So thanks to Mum for saving me from eternal dampness (the random weather has decided to add the odd thunderstorm into the mix, woop! Keeps us on our toes!!) The other parcel was the most gorgeous one from my little brothers that contained the cutest pictures and notes from them and a lovely postcard from my Dad and Tanya. Thanks to the notes from Sam, quite a few staff at Long Lake Camp are now 'Club Penguin' members, if you don't know what it is check it out, its pretty awesome!! (Many thanks to May for being in the right place at the right time to explain a Puffle to me!!) Id also like to point out how epically proud I am that Sam, at nearly 6, has learnt the importance and correct placing of apostrophes :) I dont care how sad this is, its an insane picky habit I learnt from my Mum and Im glad its been passed on!!!
I think that's all my news, I have solved both the flip flop and Chicago crises and so have buying to do tomorrow yay!! This time in 5 weeks Ill be off on my travels which is pretty mad but very exciting, eeeee can't wait!!! :)
