surf v turf

we played the aquarium in surf v turf part two. beat them in flag football last year, beat them in softball this year. taking bets they want next year's match to be water polo. :) 

Breakfast in the Farmyard

Doing a Hog Training Demonstration for all the people that came out for Breakfast in the Farmyard event at the zoo. Bella is such a champ, still pretty good on sit, even though we haven't trained in forever. Adorable! 

dad and susie's arrrrrmazing trip to baltimore. we went sailing on a pirate ship (aka day care dinghy) arrrrround the inner harrrrbor. 'twas loads of fun, and we walked away with booty and new dances to teach all our friends. ahoy!

hawaii

went to kauai with brian for my cousin alex's wedding. after the 24-hour-travel-fest to get there, the trip was wonderful! wild chickens running around, a great hike, and gorgeous views. and got to spend time with the family i don't see often enough. 

zooomerang

i recently attended the annual black tie affair at the zoo. even the camels wore bow-ties. we ate fantastic food from local restaurants, and danced the night away. it was entirely exciting seeing people not only out of their uniforms but so dressed up. i wish i took more pictures, but was enjoying myself too much to remember to pull out my camera.

heat wave

it got so hot, we sheared the sheep earlier than planned. chris did droopy, and i did lambert. (lambert looks better, haha.) and i got to leave a poof on the end of lambert's tail. it looks so cute!


before


during


after...so pretty! (the sheep were cooler, and we were sweatier)

spring is in the air

it feels a lot like summer, though, with the warm weather we've been having. i am still getting used to the ALL DAY RAINSTORMS baltimore has to offer. in colorado, if the thin air manages to rain, it's for an hour, tops. but here, with the ocean so close by and what not, it will rain all day long, and since i work outside, i come home looking like i fell in the farmyard pond.

but i digress...i really just want everyone to see pictures of the prairie dog babies and the sitatunga!



p. dog babies are adorable. they act just like adults, but talk in higher voices. and jahari is such a handsome sitatunga, and he will come inside when called in return for apple pieces. joanie makes this hilarious face. as if i can take something as cute as her seriously when she shoots me a 'drop dead' look.
