We've taken a vow of silence! :P

As promised - Day 2 Dinner (we are so spoiled!)

Chicken enchiladas with mole sauce, sour cream, fresh guacamole with blue corn chips, and tomatillo-chipotle salsa. Beer - Negra Modelo.

Critter Pic for the evening
EvilMorphGod is also a moth whisperer!

Luna Moth - sorry for the blurry picture, my camera objected to photographing outside in the dark.

See you tomorrow!

Wow, that must be amazing getting to see all those snakes. I'm happy each day just seeing Zim. But to get to see so many awsome animals like that. You are so lucky. And those dinner pictures are making me oh so hungry.

That axanthic killer bee is driving me crazy. If I got to hold one of those babies, I would die happy. :D

Day 3

Today Ms. Kara is up early preparing blueberry pancakes to please our palate! I think she's going to have to take a vacation herself after we leave, she's on the go constantly spoiling us rotten. :)

We're having a cook-out this evening with other BP.netter's who are here locally and we can't wait to meet everyone. Ms. Kim (AzureNight) came up yesterday and spent the night - she is a DOLL!!!

Probably not many critter pictures today, but with permission of folks I take pictures of today, we may post some pictures of this evening's fun. I hear we're going to have a nice bonfire as well! And burgers - but you know they aren't going to be "just" burgers. I imagine these will be burgers I'll remember for years to come! It's truly been a culinary delight.

Miss you guys (but not TOO terribly, as we are just a "wee" bit distracted from the site :P)!

Send me a doggy bag...

omg! never seen an axanthic bee before! so sweet!

Have fun and enjoy a drink or 2 for me :D

Apple Pie, Banana Cream Pie and Homemade Vanilla Gelato

We had a nice cook-out this evening and Jen (FishMommy) was able to make it - it was a blast getting to see her. Kim (AzureNight) needed to leave before "dinner was served" but it was so much fun getting to spend time with her last night. It's ok though - because Hyde, the kitty ate her share of corn on the cob!

I'm told we're finally going to be put to work tomorrow and we're going to have a day filled with animals - so there should be more pictures, including those previous special requests! See you tomorrow!

That gelato looks wonderful! **drools**

I agree :hungry: :hungry:

Boy, your meals have looked wonderful! I think I'm gaining 5 pounds just thinking about that apple pie.


If you get a chance, please post a pic of Kevin's pug - he's sooooo cute.

I had SUCH a wonderful time visiting with everyone!

I hope I didn't wear out your ears with my chatter - I don't get out and socialize much because of work so when I end up in a room with cool people I am borderline obnoxious with joy :rolleye2:

thanks for hosting me for the day!

aaaahhhhhh we have to get you out more!

Come on!!! Snake Pictures! :carrot:

And a day 5 for me. Judy's leaving tomorrow, I'm leaving on Wednesday.

We've just finished cleaning all the mice - THAT'S a job that Kara normally does herself, I think I've just gotten even MORE respect for her after the hours spent in there today.

Despite the hard work - it was a lot of fun, but it really puts things into perspective.

This afternoon we plan to play more with the snakes, so be prepared for more pictures later this evening.

No dinner pictures this evening - we're havng Domino's and watermelon and Kara gets a well-deserved rest! :D

We can't wait!

impatiently waiting.....:sunny:

Man, I can't even begin to imagine how breath taking some of those BP's are :P I'm SUPER jealous right now!

Sorry guys, we were up late feeding snakes and didn't get a chance to put up pictures. Kara and I will probably do that later this evening for you!

Judy leaves today :( and I leave tomorrow :(

Jen - it was so wonderful to meet you - wish you could have stayed longer!

Well you guys have safe trips home..... and thanks for letting us live vicariously through your pix etc... lol :P Can't wait to see more!

Sounds like all are having or have had a great time. I'm sooo jealous! That picture of the cat eating that ear of corn is priceless. I thought my cat was the only one who had a taste for corn... I guess not. :)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I knew this was going on we would have driven up!!! We're going to get up there this summer some time.

Nice plus he's got attitude I like that

Wow I can imagine it is gonna be hard to leave tomorrow after all that.

Those Lavendar Albinos are sweet, right? Oh, and that pastel clown is just screaming at me. :wuv:

I can see why the Desert Ghost is your favorite, that is so beautiful. I can't imagine how great it was to see in person!

Ack it's 8 p.m. here, I haven't had a second to sit down and eat a thing all day and dinner's not yet ready! I think I just licked the screen and drooled over your dinner (but I'm NOT fighting the big toothy fella for his pizza!). Then I got to the snake pictures and well....kinda forgot about needing to eat. I cannot imagine the joy and honor it was, Robin and Judy, to hold those magnificient snakes. What an experience! Sounds like you both have also gotten a real "slice of life" for Kevin and Kara.

wow....great pics!



ok, so we have a cat that eats corn and a croc(?) that eats pizza....:rolleye2:

New England has such strange cuisine!

Robin,
Those pics look great. I'm glad ya'll had a wonderful time. Thanks for the Minimon pic, I have been waiting patiently. I wish he didn't give you so many problems. Congrats on the great experience.

Looks like you all had a wonderful time, I am so bummed I didnt make it. I wish I could have met you all. My buddy just got back from Iraq and he is home for a week so I spent some time with him before he ships out to Japan. Anyway, can't wait for more mics ;)

That pastel clown is the definition of hotness!

How the heack do you make an inferno and a soul sucker??? Ive never seen either, they are SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET :carrot:

Please send "P"... RoLo, and the Pastel Clown. No, no, I'll pay shipping.... No really! I insist!





:8:

GREAT STUFF!!!!! :eek:

Hmmm. No. :P


At this point I'm seriously bummed that Judy left today & that Robin bids us farewell tomorrow. It has been such a fabulous weekend of enjoying some awesome animals & fantastic company (and a few good eats) that I'm sad it's drawing to an end. Then again, it gives us all an opportunity to look forward to Robin & Judy's next visit, not to mention what will hatch between now and then. :D

Can't wait!

K~

What a great story and photos :rockon:


Very kind of K&K to open their homes and passion to Robin and Judy :rockon:

Any more pics?? Come on ladies :devilish:

LOL.....soon, I promise! All the pics in this thread are from Robin's camera, since we didn't have any way to dump pics off of mine at the time. So I've got literally hundreds of pictures to go through and edit and decide which to post....most of which have already been posted in "Rabernet version"...but I'll try to find some unique ones. ;)

Be sure and post the pillow fight pics :clap:
