Mary feeds the Tiger, More wedding, Serenade

OK I goofed This photo was to be last. Mary, I and a large group of our friends attended a "Texas Tenors" concert next door a the 'Palms RV Resort". This guy was killing time for the other two and asked if any one had an anniversary. Mary held up her hand and he asked her how many years? She replied two days and he said "what are you doing here? I said I am 76 years old. He came down to our seats held Mary's hand and sang "God bless the broken road that brought you to me" (or me to you) It was very nice but he was so close I couldn't get photos. Now to the good stuff.

We took a day trip to "Out of Africa" a wild animal park North of here and just South of Sadona.

It is a great way to spend a day. They have all kinds of animals not just Africa. We had a great time here and it didn't cost an arm and leg. Much more fun the the San Diego park. Here you can feed a Tiger.

It was 5$ extra but as you can see it was well worth it.

Each person was given two pieces of meat to feed this cat. A rough estimate-- they took in about $200 at this feeding.

They teased the cats with inflatable pool toys to jump into the pool. Some times the handlers would jump into the pool with the toys.

This Penguin was really abuse by the Tiger.

This a toy on a stick like you would use with a house cat only a bigger stick and longer line.

This cat could really jump.

A garbage bag full of balloons really gets him going.

This cat is about twenty feet away when he is doing this.

Taking it easy.

This is a Black African Leopard

A white Tiger.

A very large Rhino.

I will be posting wedding photos for a long time as we have about four hundred of them.

Some of my favorite ladies.

BLUE ANGLES, BASE BALL, more WEDDING

Mary and I went to El Cintro to see the air show. This is the home of the Blue Angles.

This is as slow as they can fly.

Tight formation half up and half down. They are very close.

Very close.

This is just to show off my camera. Very sharp at 400 miles an hour.

This is the support aircraft for the Blue angles.

A bombing run.

This is the transport plan my new son in-law flies.

Spring training at the new Rockies/Diamondbacks field in Arizona

He missed this hit.

If Mike Schosa had won this argument his team would have won the game. He thought that his runner had scored before the last out was made. The ump didn't. The game ended in a tie after ten innings.

One of the sculptures out side the park.

The beginning of our wedding. I will post photos until you get really tired of them as we have about three hundred of them. These are by Mary's niece.

Bridesmaids corsages Mary's daughters and my daughter in-law Ali.

Mary and her daughters Denese and Dana.

The kiss that sealed the deal.

WEDDING PICTURES

After making it legal we joined our friends

Finely after weeks of preparation we are married in front of family and friends.

Exchanging rings.

Getting instructions from the Captain

Putting our sign up. Mary had this made the week before the wedding. It will travel with us.

A toast by the best man. Rick my oldest son.

Mary thought the cake looked better on my face than in my mouth.

She did try to clean me up.

She was laughing so hard it took awhile.
I will post more photos as we get them. The professional ones haven't come yet.
