What a great night we had tonight! We ventured to Marian University and enjoyed a great dinner in their Cafeteria. After our share of dinner and ice cream, we left and went to the student center. They had board games, a face painter, balloon artist, and live animals! I was able to snap a "few" pictures of the girls. Eva loves monkeys. Monkeys on clothes, Curious George, looking at their pictures, just monkeys. Well, they just so happen to have a monkey tonight. She was not as excited as I thought she was going to be about seeing this monkey but she did have the courage to reach out to touch her tail. Her name was Mendi. She was a spunky little monkey that liked to bite at your hand if your touch was a surprise to her - at least that's what Victoria said. We also visited with a chinchilla named Chucky and a hairless rat. The biggest wild animal that was there was a six year old female alligator. This alligator seemed so surreal. She was literally a scarf around the handlers shoulders. She seemed not to be bothered by the 12+ people touching her at any given time. It was pretty amazing. The older girls continued watching Mendi and trying to get her on their arms while Eva went over with Dad and played with the corn hole game. Out of everything, we feel that she liked it the best. The slanted boards were super fun climbing up and taking that courageous step off of with out holding onto a finger or a rail! I must agree with her though, picking up the bean bags and dropping them into the hole seems like a much easier winning strategy. Then, Victoria decided to have the balloon artist makes a few souvenirs. The Elmo balloon was a definite hit but we had to laugh at her taking the alien on and off her head. Her hair was so full of static, it was standing on all ends!
