It was a cool day, meaning both fun and temperature-wise for Florida, but we didn't let that bother us. It seemed that most of the animals weren't too bothered either.
The little ones we took with us didn't seem to mind the cold either!
I have to admit I'm a zooaholic! I love the zoo! I think I've been to just about every zoo in every city that I've either lived in or visited. I can't think of any place that is more educational--or fun--and it gets the kids out in the open air!
By far the most popular animal, though, is still the gator! These happened to be crocodiles--but the kids still called them gators.
And since Jeff has now become as much of a Gator fan as most of the rest of the family--he has to give the Gator-chomp to show his love for them!
Well, as always, bye for now!
But soon, everyone got in the act--especially Craig and Cassie!
One of the workers said he had never seen anyone win so many tickets on "Deal or No Deal" nor be so excited as we all were when Craig got down to the final two suitcases. He chose right and took the deal and won a grundle of tickets.
Then he and Cassie had to take each other on in the basketball shooting contest. It was very exciting. Can you tell how competitive they both are! 
But finally, Craig won the jackpot by getting the most points in shooting baskets in a certain time limit. All of a sudden the sirens were going off and people were cheering. Seriously, it was amazing!
Garrett and Isaac got to pick their "enormous" gifts, and we all went home happy.
Saturday, we have worked in the garage and cleaned out one storage unit for Jeff and Amy. Not so fun, but very rewarding. Everyone is dead tired, and Craig and Cassie still had to drive home an hour and a half. Thanks, Craig and Cassie, for all your help!
