NERD bootcamp (DUW - lots of pics)

and not a boot in sight. :P

I'm back, even if I wish I wasn't. I wish I even knew how to describe the incredible time I had. I got a chance to spend 5 days with wonderful friends (and Deb too :rofl: :bolt: ) and awe inspiring animals. Oh and let's not forget the heavenly food too! Thank you so much to Kara (and Kevin too) for putting up with me and being such wonderful hosts. :hug:

Our first meal!

Ziggy meets Deborah. (Robin proceeded to break him, but he did eventually get a bit of manly/roosterly pride back later on)

And a little blood for good measure. I even got to hold my first blood python, which was a gorgeous adult black blood. (obviously not this little one)

Okay not really, but I loved these two little pocket pets. :D :love: These two hatched when we first arrived.

Here's Emily with the cutest puppy ever!

Wally

Us trying to feed Deb off to Wally.... we told her that she was feeding Wally. Emily was poised to catch THAT pic for sure! But apparently french food doesn't agree with poor Wally ;)

The sweetest kitty eva! I tried to pack her in my bag, but it was a no go.

Now here was a yummy meal! Go ahead and admit it... your jealous!!! (you should be!)

And dessert.... a delicious cherry pie which was served with gellato. The problem being was that the food was so good, that I kept forgetting to take pics before I stuffed it in my mouth. :oops:

And a final picture of the girls before Emily and I left.

Truly a wonderful trip and I'd like to end with this...

nice!!! post more pictures pls!!:D:D

Awesome!!! Glad you enjoyed your trip to the North East :D

**SIGH***

Looks like you had loads of fun Christie. Kara's food always looks so good. As for the severe lack of pics of such things as the Feek and other NERD staples I regret to inform you that ..your fired...LOL

You should have smacked Robin though..Shes wareing an RDR shirt at NERD I'm surprised Kev didn't try to feed her to Wally.

Ummmm.... I have 300 pictures. Of course a good many of them do not fall in the family friendly realm. I do have FEEKY pics, and I'll get those up in a bit. He's responsible for my overwhelming urge for a lovebird now. :oops:

I'm still trying to catch up on stuff here at home. My husband did a VERY good job, as this was his first time with our 6 and 8 year old - all by himself. (shocking I know) Except for almost missing to pick up our kids from school on Friday, and not doing any laundry - I was IMPRESSED. He even cleaned up the living room and kitchen (even though he didn't cook a single meal while I was gone. :rolleyes: ) My biggest fear was my daughter's hair, which I could get a brush through - so I consider that a huge success. Anyway, here's a few more pics.

Ahem.....It's Robin, not Robyn......Deb probably SHOULD have fed you off to Wally!

We're enjoying our last day here, and I will admit that I shed a few tears when you and Em left us yesterday! Miss you bunches and bunches!

We're headed home tomorrow!

:slamhead: Sheesh, it's not like I don't know that. :ohmygod:

I think you definitely should feed me off. Now come pick me up and take me back. :yes:

It was soooooo hard to have to leave you guys and go through security. We managed to time it right, as they had started the boarding process as we walked up to the gate. The only thing that made it bearable is that Daytona is in 12 weeks. I don't think I've laughed so hard in awhile. You gals are a riot!

ROBIN, you are in charge of distributing that album list when you get back home... Miss Secretary.

My love you all, and have a safe trip home.

Hi,

Now there's the shot I asked for. :banana: :banana: :banana:

We know a song about that don't we children? **wanders off singing ancient Warrant songs while seeking his marbles**
