Potawatomi Zoo

Today Michelle, Jade, Madison, Quinn and I went to the Potawatami Zoo. It was a beautiful day in the low 80's and surprisingly the zoo was not very busy. It was fun to show Jade all the animals. I always enjoy zoos a lot myself. : )

This afternoon/evening Madison had softball practice and then we went to B & P's for supper. Tony met us there and then he went to Victory Construction to work for a few hours. He is still there now.

Speaking of Victory...Ed V. (Tony's cousin's (Eileen) husband)had a bad accident on a wave runner on the 4th of July. He and Jacob took a bad fall while on their first trip out on the lake. He had some pretty severe left sided abdominal and rib pain. To make a long story short, he lacerated his spleen and spent the last 2 nights in the hospital. The latest treatment for spleen injuries is not to do surgery if they can get the internal bleeding to stop. His bleeding stablized and he was discharged this evening. He has strict NO ACTIVITY orders...to allow the spleen to heal. So, for those of you that know Ed... those orders will be quite Difficult to follow! SO, please pray for him; for healing and patience and the ability to hold still for a few weeks.

On a happier note... here are some zoo pictures for you!

This sleepy lion is what I feel like every afternoon at 2pm... like clock work! ... Look at that cute tongue sticking out!


Have a good weekend!
