Drive-thru Safari Park

This past weekend, Grandma Nielsen came to visit. It was a short visit, so we decided to do something fun while she was here. There is a drive-thru safari park about 45 minutes from us, so we decided to go. It was a fun day, and the weather was great. They has a few baby animals that you could pet, one of which was a baby tiger. Addison was not scared at all by any of the animals, and went right up to the tiger to pet it. I will have to say though, that I think the baby tiger was Brad's highlight of the day, we couldn't get him to walk away. They also had a petting zoo that had some goats and pigs that you could pet. Addison and mommy loved the goats. If we had a fenced in back yard, I would so get one of those for a pet!

I think Addison's highlight of the day was going on a "pony ride". As soon as she say that they had an area set up for pony rides, she got so excited! I was afraid that as soon as she got on the pony she would start crying, but she didn't. It was funny, because as she stood in line waiting she already had the pony picked out that she wanted to ride, the white one. She was all smiles the entire time, and she kept repeating "riding pony!"

During the drive-thru we were very lucky to have quite a few animals come right up to our window. The rules were to keep your windows up at all times, but I couldn't resist putting the window down to get a good picture of the zebra. Let's just say it ended with the zebra's nose in the car, me screaming, and rolling the window up fast.

Thanks Grandma for comming to visit. We had a great time!
