Crikeys!

I would like to take a minute or so for respect to Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter. He was a very funny individual with an important message.

As it just so happens, Sunday the family and I went to Lake Tobias, where they have alligators as well as a bunch of other animals. The most unusual one was the Elk. It was unusual because of the noise it makes. It sounds like a lady screaming in the woods. At Lake Tobias you can go on a little safari and see all kinds of animals. There were Elk, Buffalo, LLama, all sorts of Deer, Emus and many other kinds. It was also interesting to find out that the male Emus take care of their young instead of the mothers. You can also go to a petting zoo where they have goats you can pet, a pig, and a deer. The goats ambush you looking for food the second you walk in. I assume they feed these animals once in a while, but the gaots sure didn't act like it. They also have a reptile show. During the reptile show you get to see a 2 toed sloth, some parrots, a couple of snake, an African Porcupine, an aligator and 2 13 foot long snakes. On the way out you can put the longer snakes, Mack's favorite part she loves snakes for some reason, and you can pet the alligator. Steve would have been very happy.

On the way back we decided to stop by Kipona. This was good time. They had all sorts of entertainers. From singing acts, to magicians, to a lady named Carmen Bannana who walked on stilts.

Monday we went to Downtown York, to see the Labor Day Parade. It was a little disorganized, but a good parade none the less. We actually got more candy at this parade than at any of the Halloween Parades we went to last year. My wife's company, Voith Seimens Hydro Power, even had an entry. Although I must say their candy was lacking. Maybe the wife can do something about that next year.

Well all in all it was a pretty good weekend, I had hoped to see a friend who said she was going to be in the area this weekend, but she didn't stop by. Oh well maybe next time.
