Week 48 ~ Branson Part II ~ Tattoo Fun



So we are about an hour and a half outside of Branson when Melissa said "We should all get tattoos", I think I was the only one who took her seriously. By the time, we got to Branson, we had all pretty much agreed on getting one. So we ended up @ the Ragin Rhino to get a permanent souvenir!







Jamie getting her tattoo cherry popped. She chose to get her son's name and little footprints. 


Shelly chose a cancer ribbon. One half for lung cancer, the other for breast cancer.
(This now makes #5) 


I love buttons and I love my nieces. I choose two little heart buttons, each one is their favorite color. (This now makes #8!)








That's my momma. She chose a colorful sun in memory of her brother, Sunny. (She always wanted a tattoo so a couple of years ago I kept buying her tattoo gift certificates, this now makes #3!)




Melissa chose a pretty moon to go with her existing sun (This now makes #11!)

Week 47 ~ Yep We Got Slobbered On...


This weekend was a ton of fun. The five of us girls took off Friday morning and headed down to Branson, MO. Our first stop was the Wild Animal Safari in Strafford, MO. We never dreamed it would as crazy fun as it was, we screamed and laughed so hard! 

Left to right: My momma Tina, Jamie, Melissa and Shelly
 
 When we seen this rally towel, we had no idea what it meant...we had no idea what was in store for us...by the end we knew exactly.
This is Herb, Melissa's beloved boyfriend...he did not want to let her arm go. We thought he was going to hop over and propose or have a heart attack. Yellowtail!

 Momma and smokey
 I've got my eye on you..
 I absolutely love zebras and have always wanted to pet one, we had the chance to get "up close and personal to this one", I really wanted to brush his teeth!!

 Such a beautiful creature, soft skin and gentle personalities. Their stripes are as individual as the fingerprints on our hands. I want a Zebra for Christmas, only a Zebra will do...
Melissa dropping our new buffalo friend a treat, WE GOT SLOBBERED!
The buffalo were chasing us for more treats, STEP ON IT SHELLY!
The camels were ruthless, they knew we had treats and would not take no for an answer. The white one licked my neck like Scooby Doo, my hair was soaked with camel goo. 
The brown one bit Jamie's arm and ate her brown bag of treats!

This animal plain FREAKS. ME. OUT. Just look at that evil red eye starring at us.
 Two steers protecting their young. Question is ~ How did the baby get in there??
 Cavities much?

 Yum nummy

Week 46 ~ Turkey Trot 2011

My friend Melissa and I woke up early Thanksgiving Day morning to start a new tradition,  to do the 5k known as the Turkey Trot @ the Chesterfield Amphitheater . It was the 12th Annual race, raising money for St Luke's hospital, the energy was invigorating! 
Next year we are bringing our turkey hats!!


I fell in love with this really cool sculpture at the park.

Diggin' for gold. LOL

                 I love that hat!                                                 It's Elvis and Elvis Jr on the move!                                                                 
  5k Buddies!
 Fixing his pilgrim outfit.
 So easy even a caveman can do it...
 Our Fleet Feet time was actually 48:33, our time is improving with each 5k!
 My hubby and I are dying for a Golden Retriever, I snapped this shot of my new friend right before he jumped up and gave me a kiss, I know it's a bit blurry but I just love it.
