Wild Safari (aka ghetto zoo :)

Excited for the zoo!

Today we deceided to take the kids to Wild Safari in Gentry. Its only about a 20 minute drive out to the middle of nowhere Arkansas! They have a safari and a petting zoo and all sorts of different kinds of animals. First we went through the safari. We brough saltines to feed the animals....Kira liked to feed them but Kevin wanted no part. On the safari we saw zebras, emus, camels, lions, bears, and the list goes on. You can always count on the camels, zebra, and emu come right up the car window....so its fun!

After the safari part we went to the petting zoo. There wasnt anything to crazy this time around (last time we went we got to hold lion cubs) but we did get hold baby monkeys. Kevin's favorite was the huge tortoise, which Im totally not surprised about, they dont move! :) Right up his alley. Kira my little animal lover was all over the place. She was bouncing around from the monkies, to the dogs, to the cats, bunnies, all the soft furry little creatures! They both really loved the porcupine because Grammy's dog Layla got attacked by one :) They both also enjoyed feeding the goats, pigs, and llamas.

On the way home we stopped at McDonalds and had lunch. Fun, fun day!
