Excited for Another family's Big Trip








Friends

Do you remember last year when Tommy & I had some people stay with us that we'd never met in real life? Gabe and Marla Taviano and their children?

We'd gotten to know one another through Gabe's podcast God'sMac Anyway.. Marla is an Author.. and felt lead by God to write a book called 52 zoos * 52zoos *
And they have 3 little (beautiful) girls.. and felt that this was of the Lord.. so He would provide.

We were one family of many around the country who had the pleasure of having the Taviano family stay in our home so they could tour our zoo.

They accomplished this 52 zoos in 52 weeks on the 1st of Aug.

They've had a lot of publicity since. One thing Marla had hoped was to get to fly the family to California to go to their zoos. But that did not work out.. they drove 22 thousand miles total!

But today their flying dream came true as God has planned for them to be on the Early Show tomorrow on CBS!

This is so exciting.. but also a huge prayer request.. These folks want to give God the Glory.. so will you pray for their interview tomorrow?

Thank you

We feel like we've been a little part of this Big Trip and are totally excited.
