Well - after a few crazy turns of events - Macie ended up in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia with the man himself, Jeff Corwin at the Siberian Tiger conservatory. Here's how it happened ... On Saturday morning we woke up and heard on the morning news that the Animal Planet Expo was at Liberty Park. So, being the Animal Planet enthusiasts that we are, we sprung out of bed, threw on some shorts and headed out. When we walked in (about 4th in line) we were given all kinds of free goodies not the least of which was a couple of fine meerkat fans to keep us cool on what was expected to be 100 degree + day. Well, the buzz around the expo was that Bindi Irwin (yes, the very amazing daughter of the Croc Hunter himself) was going to make a surprise appearance. We scouted out the exhibits - plotting out our plan of attack which would ensure we got to do the giant Crocodile slide, had front row seats for the frisbee dog show and then would be able to turn and sprint to the stage where Bindi was expected to make her appearance. Well, Macie finished up the Croc slide and we high-tailed it over to the amazing frisbee dog show. That's where it happened. Right there front row on the rope line. They made the announcement. They would be throwing out frisbees for all the kids.. "And one lucky kid would get a very special frisbee with a golden sticker on the back. That frisbee would be good for a free round trip ticket for a child and their parent to the Siberian Tiger Conservatory in Petaling Jaya". Well, Macie jumped and got the golden ticket frisbee all by herself. It was a catch that would've made Darryl Strawberry proud. The news cameras came rushing over- one snot nosed kid tried to grab it out of her hands but I threw a stiff elbow to his temple with my left arm while I held Macie up with my right. She waived the frisbee adorned with the golden sticker to the crowd. Rod Decker shoved a mic in my face and started asking questions. I told him I'd only agree to an interview with Van Oaker that caused quite a scuttlebutt... .. ... stop... Ok. I'm getting bored with this little day dream. It's all a fictional tale - well, there was a slide and a frisbee dog show.. but the truth of the matter is we just got some photo enhanced picture with Jeff C at the Expo. Bye.

Okay, you had me going for a while. But then, I was wondering why on earth you wouldn't have told us about it on Saturday? The whole time I was reading it and thinking, why didn't he tell us this? This is huge fun!
Too bad the day dream wasn't real but, it looks like the fake Jeff C was just as cool as a real one!
I seriously thought for a minute! You had me fooled LOL! I was thinking, Nick would have called Adam for sure...hee hee!
