What a zoo!

On Monday we went to this really cool safari zoo. You ride around in this school bus with windows but no glass and the animals come right up to you, stick their heads in your face so you can feed them. They were just your typical zoo animals like zebras, giraffe, bulls, gazelle, ostrage, horses and such but what made it amazing was to be so close to these creatures.

As you can see Cyri was literally leaning so far out the window I was afraid she would fall...but that only lasted until the animals came....this story is to be continued.








This guy was staring down Anaiya for some grub.

You can hand feed the animals but Anaiya was scared and would just put the food on the window ledge.

Ah yes, as I was saying before, Cyri was no where to be found after the animals came. Notice the little head down by Trinity's legs. That would be the baby that once was so eager to jump out of the bus.

And the feeding frenzy continues. They walk right up to you and just open these enormous mouths in your face and expect a treat.

The shorter animals that couldn't reach the windows would try to swipe the food from your hands with their gross long tongues.

To hand feed the giraffe was pretty amazing.

Anaiya eventually worked up enough courage to let the giraffe lick her hand.

This picture almost looks fake.



After the safari ride we went to the other side of the park which had a little farm walk through area.
