I Want Shoes and Bags

So Dale (Julies father) is friends with a man in their stake who has as a hobby hunting, and his favorite hunt is the African Safari. So much so that he has been on I think 8 or so, however many it is he has essentially built a second home to mount and display all of his animals.So one of our favorite activities when we now visit Denver (sorry Troy we had every intention of visiting you but our plans were derailed by much needed home repairs and sick kids) is to go see the new animals. This is Dallin in front a lion that is just about to tenderize a hyena for dinner, it was Dallin's favorite mount out of all of them.
Preston doesn't really care about these animals since none of them are dogs.
Amy needed to hold Preston so we got an Eland with the two of them. So the gentleman who hosts us has essentially every animal you would want to hunt displayed in this museum of his (imagine your own private Cabelas) except for an alligator. He said that while in Africa on their last Safari his wife harvested a good sized Crocodile and he was very much looking forward to the mount as a display. Well when the taxidermist called and asked how she wanted it mounted he asked his wife and she responded I want shoes and bags, he still hasn't gotten over that.

  1. This is an example of some A+ blog post titling. At first I was like "what the heck is this post all about?" but then in the last sentence... I found out. Touche suspenseful Nick, touche.
