lions and tigers and ... no bears until 2010

Warning: LOTS of pictures :o)

Before I get into my great weekend, wanted to show you a picture of my nice farmer tan / sunburn I got last weekend. Ouchie!

My BFF Amanda and her family came down Friday night... had they not gotten lost (trust me, it's a joke within their family so I feel safe saying that) they would have gotten here at a decent hour Friday night. It worked out good though, I took a nap until they arrived. It really didn't help them that it was pouring down rain.

We got up Saturday and tried to go to the Waffle House - people were standing outside though. We headed to IHOP instead and then headed for the Zoo. We hit a few drops of rain on the way there and when we first got there. We had a good time – the zoo is mostly shaded so with it being almost 90, that helped tons! The only thing that sucked is my knee – damn thing kept me from seeing the last little bit. I took a rest while they toured the rest.

Entering the Zoo




The lil girl waving wanted her picture taken too!!

Sleepy guy! And at this point, my camera died so I didn't get any more Zoo pics OR pics from the T-Rex ... UGH!

After the Zoo we headed over to the Legends and ate at T-Rex. Sadly, not the best food I’ve had – but Samantha had fun so it was worth every minute and penny.

We came back to my place afterwards and just chilled. This morning we sat around for a bit then headed for lunch, went and looked at the lake, then stopped at a little park over by my house for a few minutes. We decided we were going to go swimming, but by the time we got home and the time they wanted to leave, we decided we wouldn’t have much time and wouldn’t be worth our money.



Right before we asked Sam if she wanted to go swimming....


We decided to go for some miniature golf instead. For somebody who has only played 2x, I got 2nd place!!


This one could be a 'lil challenging. the hole is around the corner!

BFF!!

A great time with some great friends, I can’t wait for their next visit!!

Tomorrow being the last day of the month, I know I will be exhausted, M is on vaca until July 8- AYE... this could be disastrous.

The Clark family - I LOVE ya'll!!
