looking at this angry lion face-to-face gave me the shivers and I couldn't do it for more than a split second. really, really creepy. and yes, there is an elephant head and a rhino head in the background. the real deal.

We arrived at the Trois Estate, near Enchanted Rock, which is owned by Maggie's Dad's cousin. Fun fact, Chuck Trois made his fortune as a member of the Soul Survivors, who had that hit "Expressway to Your Heart" in the 60s.
Tonight was the rehearsal dinner, after which we hung out and explored the grounds. The estate houses the world's largest cap gun collection (pics of that later), as well as a massive "head room" filled with hundreds of taxidermied animals. This place is super crazy but awesome. And the weather is PERFECT!
