Excavating Noah's Ark

Sometimes I look like a lion.  And sometimes I look like a prairie dog.  And sometimes I look like Timone (a meerkat).  And sometimes I look like a naked mole rat (yes, they exist).  And sometimes I stand like a flamingo, cause I really like flamingos.  But I'm just a Liz.  However, I went to the Biblical Zoo and I got to see ALL of these beautiful animals!  And lots and lots of other animals, like penguins!  My roommate Lizzie sure adored those!  And at Lemur Land the Lemurs could walk on top of you and we sang "Madagascar" music there!  But there were really more "Lion King" animals there than "Madagascar" animals--like Rafiki!  I saw an actual Rafiki!  It was the most magical zoo of my life!  Then we went to Noah's Ark!  And the animals are all descendants of the animals that Noah put on the ark, how cool is that?!  So it probably really doesn't sound that great, but I promise it was, so let me just show you instead...

Sara and Eleisha being prairie dogs, they're just jealous of me.

There are real flamingos in the back,
they are just hard to see.  Look closely!

PENGUINS!!!

Eleisha and Sara with the elephant!

At Noah's Ark going in by twos of course!

Jake, Sara, Liz, and Lizzie with the grizzly bears!
(They had real ones too).

Roommate pic!  Lizzie, Sara, Liz, and Jenessa!


And sometimes we take pictures at the zoo not
 with animals, just cause we can! :)

Lizzie, Sara, and Liz with palm trees!

Eleisha, Liz, Jake, and Sara (mixed up order of JESL) at the zoo.

Also, I found out tonight that there are legit lyrics to "Circle of Life" and it may or may not have made me really giddy, so I thought I'd share!

"Circle Of Life" Lyrics

Nants ingonyama bagithi Baba  [Here comes a lion, Father]
Sithi uhm ingonyama           [Oh yes, it's a lion]

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba
Sithi uhhmm ingonyama
Ingonyama

Siyo Nqoba                    [We're going to conquer]
Ingonyama
Ingonyama nengw' enamabala    [A lion and a leopard come to this open place]

[Chant repeats]

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done
There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope
Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life
