Visit to @papa-pepper and family - Day 2steemCreated with Sketch.

in story •  8 years ago  (edited)

Saturday morning, my grandson @naru-celier (Nathaneil) and myself we had breakfast in our hotel room that includes a small kitchen.
We joined the @papa-pepper family after 10AM. The plan was to go to Branson's Wild World a trip of around 45 minutes, without to much traffic or other difficulties.

@papa-pepper got distracted.

We were to follow the Pepper car. @papa-pepper told me that he had to get some gas at the local gas station. He indeed stopped there, and he went to the Subway at the gas station. But then, he got distracted, and he left without getting any gas.

After fifteen minutes, the Pepper car stopped and we had to go to the closest gas station with our car, where @papa-pepper bought a new gas can and fill it up.

Look how @papa-pepper is annoyed to be in this situation!

And when we came back, he just added the new gas can to his collection!

Branson's Wild World

As it was almost 1PM, we had lunch in a pizzeria, where I was even able to get a vegan pizza with vegan cheese.

We finally arrived at the Branson's Wild World, a small indoor zoo and aquarium.

There, we saw plenty of reptiles, aquatic creatures and other animals.

We even went inside the cages of the New Guinea singing dogs

Back to the house

When we went back to the house, I cooked dinner: broiled cauliflowers and pan-fried carrots.

Everybody seems to enjoyed those, with some chicken for those that are not vegan

After dinner, we went to see the house that @jaguarlife is building with ICFs (Insulating concrete forms.

And finally, at night, we went to look for scorpions. You can learn about the whole story in this post from @papa-pepper.
We were very happy, Nathaneil and myself, to find one scorpion each.

This was another good day.

Great adventure you had. Saw the scorpions you got at papa's post.

Interesting post. actually papa-pepper is doing interesting & orignal things that y people are getting attract. To be popular on steemit or any social media. it is important to write the orignal content.

I'm glad you liked that visit!

Greetings guys, you are still having some awesome time! :)

Interesting post. So much to see in our world.

@papa-pepper needs to get some new spouts on those cans. If he orders some from www.gasspouts.com AND if he uses the @mericanhomeatead code AAH20off he can save 20% on them.

Those stupid auto shutoff spouts on them china-mart cans suck.

ROTFL!

You should tell that to @papa-pepper.

But it would not have helped him this time, as he left all his gas cans at home!

LOL! Good point!

Will do. I'll get mine ordered then show him when he comes over next.

What a great day! The food there always sounds so good - wish I could visit but I'm in the wrong country :)

wow nice trip, good thing for papa -pepper what u was near and helped him with gas:) Branson's Wild World is amazing place , this wolves are so beautiful

I wonder what kind of animal distracted @papa-pepper to the point that he forgot to fill up the gas tank. 🙄 🐍🐉🐧🐋

What lovely New Guinea singing dogs=)))

Pretty cool to meet them in person!

=))))

With that collection of gas cans, it seems that @papa-pepper often gets distracted at gas stations and run out of the gas. 😉

And by the way @vcelier, I'm keen to know if you are a vegan or just a follower of plant-based diet. I understand that a vegan won't support any aquarium or zoo with his / her money. But you happily visited the Branson's Wild World. I'm still wondering about it.

I am a follower of plant-based diet.

Okay 👍, Good to know that!

Looks like another fun-filled day with everyone! I will definitely check out those scorpions at night, sounds exciting :D And I'm impressed that you found a place that had vegan pizza, and vegan cheese! Incredible :)

Thank you for appreciating my poetry, can I follow you, and please see some poems that I post, may be of interest to you @vcelier
