Wild Animal Safari!


So on our way home from Milwaukee, we decided to make a little stop at this safari we always see big billboards for but never want to drive all the way out for... (it's over an hour and half from our house...).  The boys were restless after driving so long and we thought this may be a great way to stretch our legs and see some fun animals!  We opted out of the drive-through part because we wanted to get home but we did spend about 30-45 minutes checking out all the awesome animals - and this particular place had feeding stations set up at every animal's cage so you can feed them!  The tigers were the coolest to watch.  There were 4 MASSIVE tigers and for $5 you could feed them these big chunks of raw chicken.  Two families were already lined up to do it so we got to watch these huge beasts fight, literally, for the meat.  I was so grateful for that big ol' cage between us!  The boys were fascinated too.  But we all agreed the coolest was the giraffe - which could bend down and take food right out of your hand (and he did mine!).  That was the coolest!  We're all really glad we made this stop!
 Ryan got up close and personal with this emu!
