Penguins on Parade

We couldn't help but notice that there was this 6-foot tall painted fiberglass penguin outside of our hotel in Tulsa.


We figured it was just a clever advertisement and didn't think much of it until two weeks later we noticed another penguin in a different part of the city. Another week later we saw a third penguin and realized some research was in order. We learned that the penguins were part of the "Penguins on Parade," a fundraiser for the Tulsa zoo to bring an African Penguin exhibit to the zoo a few years ago. There are about two dozen painted penguins throughout the city of Tulsa, and I really wanted to try and find all of them! I couldn't find a website that listed out all of the locations, but after some scouting we were able to find quite a few of these cute little buggers. Unfortunately, because we had to leave Tulsa so quickly we weren't able to get to all of the ones we had found, but we did find a few and thought we would share some of the pictures with you.


This next one is clearly a faker, but he gets credit for effort :)

What a Crazy Life We Lead

As of 5:00 this morning we are now back home. Though the job in Tulsa was not yet complete, there was a more pressing job that Jeff was needed for, so we left Tulsa yesterday evening (after watching the awesome Packer victory) and drove straight through the night. As soon as we get our visas sorted out we are heading to Panipat, India. It is a smaller city in northern India, a few hours north of New Delhi. We have talked to other employees who have been to this location, and it seems like we will not have internet access, so it is possible that you will not hear from us for a while. We should be there for about a month or so. I will try to post a few fun things in the next few days before we leave so you don't miss us too much!
