An animal lover

Maddie got back in party planning mode. She was having a cousin sleep over at her Grandma Karen's and insisted they needed a birthday party for their dog Max. Happy birthday Max!
We spent MLK Day with our family at an exotic animal petting zoo. There were all kinds of amazing things to see. Some of my favorite:

A massive camel


A tiny baby kangaroo


A slightly evil, pick-pocketing monkey



A boa constricter

I also got to go shooting with some of the Tingey men. Here is my grandpa showing us how it is done. I got to shoot my great grandpa's rifle that left a bruise on my shoulder. It was awesome.

1. I think that's the camel that tried to eat Uncle Mark's head and it looks like it's attacking Maddie.
2. Josh looks great with scruff!
3. You are so Britney Spears "I'm A Slave 4 U".
4. I never knew this place even existed but it seems really strange/cool.

The pic of Maddie with the camel in her face totally cracks me up! That looks like a fun place. :)
