Thursday

I'm going to write about several days right now, starting with Thursday.

Thursday:
Mary, Annalee, and I went to the Watson's house on Thursday. Well, actually we didn't go to their house until lunch time. We spent the morning at Grapeland Safari Park, which is basically a very small zoo without cages. They had all sorts of animals ranging from buffalo to ducks, and all of those animals all put together begging for food all at once is rather like an ambush. The buffalo especially were good at ambushing. They put their slobber all over the windows and tended to put their heads in the car. We also saw lots of different varieties of deer, and also some antelope and mountain goats. They had zebras and llamas and one alpaca. Also, some alligators, which we couldn't get very close to because they were penned up. About birds, well they had ducks, geese and turkeys, some guinea fowl, and several peacocks. They even had two albino peacocks, which were quite amazing. When we'd seen all the wildlife, we went back to the front area to get some slushies. Boy were those good slushies, I got one called tiger's blood and it was really great. They had goats up front and a calf too, I'm trying to remember what the calf was called. Oh well, the two goats were babies and apparently twins, they certainly acted like twins. The calf kept licking my leg too, it felt really weird, sorta' like a cat tongue except about ten times bigger. On the way to the Watsons' house, we stopped by the Caddoin mounds which were really cool. We got to eat some buffalo sausage which tasted just like beef jerkey. Then we went and saw a really old fake pepper tree, which looked just like ours, except bigger and it's blossoms were pink. When we did finally get back to the Watsons' house, we cleaned the buffalo slobber of off Mary's car and went and ate lunch. That's all I'm going to say about Thursday.
