Daily Routine

Okay again there are no pictures but we have figured a way to get some pictures up so we will hopefully do that soon for all of you that are eagerly anticipating animal pics and me training with elephants. So in the mornings (we are up at 5:45 am and at the elephants but 6:30) I go and watch the elephant handler train the elephants to know the parts of the body and they can also kick a soccer ball, better then me. By the end of my time here the handler said i will be working with them on my own. CRAZYYYY! Isabelle, I know you said you would be jealous if i rode an elephant but i have to tell you about it becuase you wouldn't believe how cool it is. We ride them some days for a bit in the morning to keep them used to having clients ride them and it is so cool because they eat the whole time and just DESTROY trees as they walk. The elephants get a hold of one branch and just RIP it down and take almost the whole tree with them. It is so funny but so destructive. Dad, if you thought deer were bad you should get some elephants and you would have no more trees. We also walked with the rhinos and learned what they eat and what they do and they are so cute becuase they have to take naps in the day. And yes Jason i do smooch their ears and the elephants ears everyday! We had a wedding here this weekend whcih was so fun and crazy and they had the elephants walk in the background and some giraffes walked by...the giraffes are free to roam as most animals on here are and we just cound them each week, but the rhinos and the elephants have handlers with them all day and night due to poachers. Anyways i have to run but wanted to wish everyone a happy easter and hope all is well. Miss everyone, pictures are to come!
