Wild Animals.....and I'm Not Talking About The Kids

Last week we went to the Wilderness Safari for the first time. It's such a neat place! They have this 4 mile drive that takes you through the "wilderness" where all different kinds of animals roam....and a few live in cages. :)

The kids thought it was so fun that they got to get in the front and sit with us as we drove. Harrison got to have his turn at driving first while Madeleine and I took it all in. We saw lots of deer, cows, camels, zebras, bison, emus, and more that I've forgotten already. It was the closest I've ever been too most of those animals!!

Harrison was in HEAVEN!! He was enthralled throughout the entire ride (which took us about an hour) and never stopped smiling and laughing.

Of course our snack for the ride had to be annimal crackers! If you can't tell Madeleine is posing with her camel cracker.

We headed to the petting zoo afterwards. Harrison was a little hesitant at first, but Madeleine enjoyed every moment!

Here's Harrison petting the kangaroo...it was a momma and even had a baby in the pouch.

Matt and Harrison getting ready to feed/be attacked by the goats! They were frisky little guys!

Madeleine and the baby lion. She loved petting this little guy.

I wish I had a video of this.....Harrison was dancing around the monkey cage here making LOUD monkey noises! He was so funny!!!

Such a fun afternoon!! If you live in NWA and have kids this is a must-see!

Then it was off to the promenade to round out our day with train/carousel rides and ICE CREAM!
