Weekend at the Zoo

I had the weekend off from normal hospital activities, so I headed up to Waco to spend some time with Kristi and her family. It was also really good just to get away from Houston and the normal grind of the city for awhile too. At first I wasn't really sure how I was going to pull the weekend thing off since I was on call at the hospital on Friday, but I got off early and was able to make the drive up without any problems. We spent Saturday at the Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, it was Providence Hospital's company picnic day and since Kristi is an employee there now, we were able to get tickets in. The day included free barbeque, drinks, ice cream and attractions. It was pretty fun once we found the place. We saw all the animals, had food and drinks and even played some bingo too, although our luck wasn't very good. Afterwards, we got some Red Lobster thanks to a gift card that hadn't been used yet and watched a movie.

The next day, Kristi's dad actually put us to work on his land taking care of some of his pecan trees and some fire ants. It was kind of fun though. I had to come back it seems like just after I got there and now it's time for another week... I have some tests coming up too, so I guess I should get to work on those pretty quickly.
