The Wilds

Tasha, Melissa, Logann, and I traveled to the Zanesville area toThe Wilds a few weeks ago... awesome is an understatement!!!!

We rode a schoolbus up a hill to the ticket area, upgraded our prepurchased tickets for the closed-air conditioned bus to tickets for an Open Air bus!!!

We could reach out to touch the animals if we were allowed ;-) These precious looking animals are known to us as donkeys (aka: Donkey on Shrek), and in case you're wondering...their technical name is Persian onager/Equus hemionus onager!











The giraffes were my favorite, they proudly posed for us to take their picture.

This is one of two female cheetahs that lounged in the shade while we baked in the sun and admired them.

Logann picked flowers for us while we were off the bus for one of our walks

Fall

My favorite time of the year... FALL!! Cool air, sweatshirts, pumpkin pie, and colorful landscapes ;-) Activities are plentiful: cookouts; football; Tasha & Josh's anniversary ;-) birthdays; family and friends will come to visit the Circleville Pumpkin Show; I hope to take Logann and Abbie to a neighbor's pumpkin patch; helping with the planning of a fund raiser banquet for a local Pregnancy Center, directed by my friend Brenda; Thanksgiving (yum); planning the arrival of Devon & Megan's baby/Russell & my grandbaby!!!; and of course, Christmas shopping in between it all!!!! I hope winter doesn't arrive early so that I can enjoy as much of the season as possible!!!
