Substitutiary Locomotion

So yesterday after rehearsal for the clown gag next year, Adam, one of the guys who watches and takes care of the elephants, took me to see them and to tell me all about them!

Elephants! Apparently there are more muscles in an elephant's trunk than our entire body!

Baby elephant!

The other baby! This one's name is Rocky, he's the only male

These two are half sisters.

Not an elephant but I didn't get a picture of him last time haha

We have nine elephants in the show, and they are all part of the Elephant Conservation Program. These are all asian elephants as opposed to african elephants: they have less wrinkles, one finger in their trunk instead of two, four toenails in front and five in the back, and as they get older they go through de-pigmentation. Watching them play and interact was really fascinating, and Adam was explaining all their different personalities. They really are amazing creatures :)

And I've been practicing my crochet more! As opposed to what I posted last time, this is what my work looks like now:

It started out so good...haha at least the stitches are MUCH better

I've now moved on to the half double crochet stitch, we'll see how it goes.

P.S. The library JUST announced that they are showing the movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks for free downstairs starting at 2pm! LOVE!
