We took a mini vacation over the 4th. We headed up to Charlotte to stay at my mom’s house Friday morning. Friday evening was pretty uneventful, just hung out and drove around Charlotte. Sat. morning my mom had to work so Khari and I took the girls to Tiger World.  After buying food to feed the animals we started out on our adventure. Although, called Tiger World, there were lots of other animals. This place was my youngest daughter, Justice’s dream world. As we were walking around you could here “screaming” coming from the baboons cage. There was a male and female baboon. The male was very irritated about something. As we were standing there he took off running towards us and attacked the cage.

Watching the tigers playing in the water was my favorite part.

Of course, no trip would be complete without a fight over the food.

Sat. night my mom watched the girls so hubby and I could go out to dinner. We actually got dressed up (ok, dressed up for us)  and headed to Chimas, a Brazillian steakhouse. Talk about delicious! I am not much of a steak eater, but the Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon absolutely melted in my mouth!

Sunday we headed up to the French Broad River for tubing (will post a new entry with pics and story when the water camera is developed).

After a long day Sunday, we decided to take it easy and head up to Lake Norman for the day. Unfortunately, the camera and sunblock were not brought. The girls survived without a problem. Me, if I had a blue stripe to add to me, I’d look like the U.S. Flag.
