First, I went to a kangaroo farm.
I had no idea there were kangaroos outside of zoos in the US! They had wallabies, kangaroos, emus, peacocks, chickens, donkeys, llamas, and a mini horse. For the most part, you get to pet, feed, and otherwise interact with them; not so much for the emu, though. The various creatures in the kangaroo family were very cute and very gentle, even when eating out of your hand. We even got to see/feed/pet a mother carrying a joey in her pouch. The llamas were trained to eat food pellets out of your mouth, too. I tried once, but the llama ignored me, which is really fine by me =) I did get several pictures and videos of other people feeding them that way, though. At the end, we all got to hold a baby kangaroo/wallaby; so cute!
The second thing of note was going on a chocolate factory tour with J&K.
J wrote all about it in his food blog, so I won't get into it too much here. Needless to say, it was interesting and fun, and the chocolate was oh, so good. I had to buy some when I went to visit my family so they, too, could experience the deliciousness that is Theo Chocolate.
