It was a good time too!!!! :rolleyes:

i bet it was!

did you remember to take pics when the oil came out?

Wow; that must have been a blast of a trip. I wish I could have made it..! K, I swear Mark and i will come and visit in the not-too-distant future.
That pastel calico is what caught my eye major!

Thanks for sharing your trip with everyone. Looks like a great time with some fabulous hosts and some amazing animals. Pics are amazing. If I ever make it to NERD I'm probably gonna need to refi my house because I'm gonna wan't everything! I have been real busy lately and just got to see this thread now and really enjoyed it! :sunny:

Awesomeness! Thanks for sharing your fun weekend with us!


<3 that axanthic bee...*blows a kiss* :P

I've got a shortcut to this thread on my desktop to remind to go up to NERD next month and to see Risk Sisco's Tegu's (Maine).

Well, it's taken me awhile, but finally, here's my own personal take on the weekend, as well as pictures. You won't see a lot of snake pictures because all of mine look pretty much like Robin's, so nothing new there. But here's some pictures off of my camera that you didn't see from Robin's.... :D

Welcome to NERD!

Gotta have a bite picture! Poor Robin got bit by three different mice AND a baby snake she was feeding. I didn't get bit by anything. :P So here's Robin's thumb after the snake tagged her...

This is the life!! Does this look like a pampered monitor or what??

Here's a fun little collage I put together of a gravid monitor that was begging for attention. She was SO cute! And finally happy when Kara gave her a rat to munch on.

Kara's BEAUTIFUL kookaburras....these were the most awesome birds!!

Kara's precious lovebird enjoying his bath... I fell in love with this little guy and now I have to have my own lovebird....someday!

Sorry for the fuzzy picture, but this was the best I got of this sweet little baby lovebird that Kara was handfeeding...

I know Robin posted a similar picture of these two..but I just love 'em so much!

Ok...I hate to post this picture of me...but the snake is just SO awesome, I have to. This is a leucistic Pinesnake...and I just fell in love with him. He was so beautiful and sweet!

Kevin with his own little lovebird...

Me with Kara & Kevin...

And lastly...the Three Muskateers themselves....Keep in mind all three of us are sick in this picture. Normally we look like Cover Girls! :D

Makes my heart sore with missing Robin and Kara, even though it's only been a few days home! And I was shocked to find NO pictures of either Kim or Jen (AzureNight or fishmommy) on my camera. I'm not sure how that happened. :( But it was AWEsome meeting both of you! And I sincerely hope to do so again someday when I'm up in that part of the country again.

My deepest thanks and gratitude to Kara for her invitation...for opening her home and her heart (and her kitchen! LOL)....and to Kevin for being so tolerant of having his home invaded by strangers. He was a gentleman and a friend!

Kara and Robin....can't wait to see you again!! :grouphug:

wow, finally we get to see a pic of kara!!! and kevin!!!!

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice pics!

Awesome!

Thats like a dream come true for me is to go out there and visit NERD.

You must have had an awesome time, and Kara and Kevin must be some amazing people.

Any more pics :D

Mike

Kevin is going to kill you for that lovebird picture!!! :P


And despite the three of us being sick, that picture's not bad at all! Definitely going to have to "snag" some of your pictures!

We had a great time, and I have a hard time concentrating at work, because I keep thinking things like "this time last week we were in the rodent room cleaning up after 1500 mice!"

I already had the pleasure of getting to spend some time with Kara at Daytona last year, so I already knew what an awesome woman she was. It was so awesome to be able to spend some quality time getting to know her even better.

And Kevin was one of the most down to earth people you could ever hope to meet.

They just OOOZed niceness! I :love: them!

And I got to meet Judy last year in Daytona and we've really built a strong friendship over the past months, so it was wonderful to get to see her again and spend time with her.

Just wish we all didn't feel so icky, I'm sure we would have had even more fun if we were all 100%.

I can't find the one picture I got of Kim and I didn't get any of Jen either. What happened??? :confused:

of course you don't have pics of me....I have special anti-camera powers!

wow robin. what a treat! Thanks for sharing all the pics!

Glad you ladies had fun, you all are so lucky!

It was SO nice hanging out with you girls--and it was exciting to meet Judy and Robin for the first time! :) The pictures were lovely--and the food, of course, delicious! Too bad there were no blueberry pancake pictures--but we gobbled those down too fast ;) Kara's cooking is like no other!

I was sad that I had to take off early on Sunday--the company was great and the food looked delicious! :) Love you girls!

I'm super jealous! It looks like that trip was AWESOME! :clap: I'm so glad that you both were able to enjoy such a wonderful experience together. (even if a bit under the weather) Next time save room in your suitcases for me! :wuv:
