Part 2 - Shannon's Birthday

Part 2:  Shannon's birthday........yeah, I know it is April.  But she will be 16 all year long!      The Laurels and their leaders came and set an early alarm in her room and the poster said "Arise and Shine Forth".  This is the theme for the YW this year.  Then someone decorated the outside of the door, including Doug's truck and left a sweet brownie.  

So part 2, which was actually done along with part 1, a blog made a few weeks ago, but, I failed to do the pictures in order so you get what I give you.  In this 'Ostrich Fishin", you go on this huge monster truck (sorry I forgot to get a picture), but it's huge, and they drive you through the desert scenery out there and then they stop at this platform where you get 'poles', attach grapefruit and the ostriches will come up and grab them.  The kids totally loved it .  After that we just walked around and fed deer, goats, donkeys, and ducks.  There was probably more, but I can't think of them right now.   


Always on the move.

 Katie not really really liking this.
This ostrich doesn't know who he's dealing with. 

Okay, this was new this year.  They have this large lifty thing with this Goat Penthouse on it.  There is no way for these goats to go any where, so I'm sure they must change them out every hour?, but what you do, is put food in these containers, crank this handle and the food works its way up the 'pulley' line and then dumps into a canister that the goats eat from.  Too funny!  If you weren't careful with the 'cranking' it starts swaying pretty hard and then the food spills out before it reaches the top and then the goats are MAD!  Because they know the food is coming.......

These pictures need explanations:  Jason was having a great time, as seen in picture #1.  Then he and Doug decided to try and feed them with their mouth, being very careful as seen in picture #2.  I think Doug must have chickened out, because you see him laughing and then grabbing Jason's neck and pushing him into the goat!  It was so-o funny! 

 



here, they come

Poor Stacey, no birds



No food, so we'll poop on her hat.



 Thanks for sharing your Birthday with us Shannon!  We had a great time!
