I'm originally from Washington state where I had hoped to return after college, but it wasn't meant to be (at least not yet). I came all the way to BYU in Utah to get my education and ended up finding Nathan, my husband, who is also from my hometown, and who I dated in high school. Why I had to come all this way beats me. I did finish my degree in Early childhood education in April 2000, however, we decided to start a family rather than have me teach. Kirsten was born in Feb. 2001, then Zachary in Nov. of 2002 and Caleb in Sept. 2006. Now my life is my family and my full time- lifetime job is wife and mother.
The rhinos weren't cooperating and wanted to continue eating behind their rock. The elephants were a little bigger and therefor had a harder time hiding from us. The kids needed a different mode of transport and we took advantage of the option for a tour around the park. Everything seems so much more fun from the second level of a bus. The guide told us the carriers in the enclosures were to prepare the elephants for any transports in the future. She also told us if the trees were ancored down the elephants would trash their enclosures. One elephant was sticking a twig behind it's tusk for later just like we would put a pencil or pen behind our ear. Funny huh! The rhinos were a little more visible from the bus and we were told that they are brothers and this is the teenager holding pens until they are big enough to go to the outdoor wild range. Their skin was like armour. Caleb like the bus at first but liked to do everything himself. With him not aware of his limits (gravity being one of them ) we were having a hard time keeping him behind the bar and not through and out them.
