Let's Go On A Safari

We'd planned to go to the mountains to celebrate our 1 year post surgery...and life in general in October.

But our plans changed, and we had to change weekends.

And I chickened out. Too much to spend. Too fresh. Too much.

So, naturally, we decided to stay a little closer to home and...

...go on a Safari!

Because what better a place to spend with a two year old lover of all things animals than a safari where you can touch and feed animals!!!

Here's a little bit about our safari.

You might remember this picture...

...where my camera decided to break.

But I did manage to capture a few fun images of our adventure prior to that last one!

Instead of having to worry about your own car becoming all slobbery and gross...

why not ride in a Zebra car!

Addie felt much more secure in her Daddy's arms...and might have enjoyed driving at 5mph a little bit too!

Audrey Kate and my mom. Anne Perry was in her car seat to the right.

And this is what we saw...

...lots and lots of deer and a moose too!

...white/albino deer. i'm sure there's a more technical name but oh well. according to Addie, this big dear was gorgeous. and she liked the big deer but she didn't?

...shaggy cows (shaggy stinky cows according to Addie) and steers.

and shaggy pigs. but wait, these weren't shaggy. only in addie's memory :)

...and llamas (but these weren't wearing any red pajamas).

...and rhinos (otherwise knowns around here as a rhinocerNos!)

But seriously. What's a safari without a giraffe peering down into your zebra car sticking out it's 18 inch tongue to grab the giant food pellet you're offering?

...one that included zebra's with a super cool mohawk.

...and eye lashes the length of Addie's hair!

Fun times. Sweet memories. Precious family!

And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. ...and it was good.

I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you
