It’s a ZOO!

Today we went to the Gentry Zoo for a Wild Safari Tour! I’ve been wanting to go for a couple of years and hadn’t been able to. There were a lot of animals. Lee and I were impressed with how many animals there were and the variety of them. It took us about an hour to drive through and then we finished up with the petting zoo.

When we started the tour Peyton started squealing and banging on the window. He LOVED the animals. Faith sat in Lee’s lap while he drove around. She was a little timid about it all. Peyton kept trying to open the car door and escape while Faith clung tight to dad. Peyton’s attention span only lasted about 20 mins and then he was more interested in the food I had packed and all the control buttons in the front of the car.

Not sure what the proper name for this guy was, but he was digging in the mud with his antlers and throwing mud on his back to cool off. 

Scary Little Wart Hog!

  These ostrich looking creatures had NO fear. They kept coming up to the window and touching his beak to the window. I think he wanted Peyton’s cracker! This guy needed a haircut!

The Camels were quite social today. The came up to every car like we were at a check point! We went to the petting zoo after the drive through. It didn’t last long. Faith was as high on Lee’s shoulders as she could get, while Peyton gave the animals a run for their money. This picture was taken right before P stuck his head through the fence! I was afraid he was going to get nibbled on!

Trying to scale the fence! My little explorer!

 

This was right before we left. P was lot and tired! Too much chasing the Guineas around. It was a great day and lots of memories made!
