Good visit

My mom, sister, and niece arrived last night from Minnesota. It is great to have them here. We have a lot planned actually.

Today we went to the zoo. That was really fun. We love seeing and interacting with animals. I don't understand the brutality of the animal kingdom, but I am amazed at God's imagination. I think I would have probably just created the same animal in several different colors. Did you know that the tongue of a woodpecker wraps around the inside of its head? Anyway, we fed the giraffes today. They have a really, really long tongue. I also learned recently at a Creation Science talk that they have a valve in their body that is used to regulate blood flow to their neck and head. They have to bend down to drinking water and it prevents blood from filling their head. Without the valve, when suddenly attacked and forced to flee, if they raise their head up real fast to run they would definitely get woozy and maybe pass out. I think God is smart! Anyway, here's a picture of the giraffe tongue. By the way, it looks dry like a cats, but is actually really slimy.

After the zoo we went to Kon Tiki (NW of Broadway and Swan, I think) and it was a pretty cool atmosphere. Good food. They had a huge habitat with a monitor lizard in it. It was probably about 4 ft long!

Tomorrow we're going to Chihuahua Charlie's for dinner with my Aunt and Uncle too.
