Okay, we have been wanting to take a trip to the Wildlife Park. So we chose our day and even though there was a chance of rain, we were determined. As we pull up to gates the sky is dark with the clouds drizzling on us yet our determination still supassed our logic (that is not uncommon in our household). We pay and start driving down the road to park. We had no idea the animals would be blocking us from driving down the road and sticking their heads right in the window. As the llama comes up, Ben is frantically yelling, "hurry, put up the windows it is going to spit on us." Surprisingly the kids did not adhere to his commands. Following the llama comes the very friendly ostrich, once again head in the window. I am imagining it pecking the life out of my children. McKinna is feeding it, but Bodin is not crazy about the whole thing. We felt like we were in the Jurassic park movie with the dinosaurs coming right up to the car and checking us out.
Now, we finally get to our parking spot and walk over where the kids feed some of the deers while we wait for the tram to take us around the park. We did have to wait for the rain to let up before we could go. (Again, we perservere through the storm.)
We finally make it off on the tram. Now this is a metal cage that we are sitting in while there was lightning and thunder all around us and we were driving through all of these trees. At one point a branch off of one of the trees broke due to the weight of the water, but we kept going. It added to the ambience of the whole experience. I don't think my kids will ever forget this experience. And we did get to see and feed a lot of interesting animals.
After all the fun we went and ate at the BEST Mexican Food restaurant, La Brisa. Our waiter was great and made McKade this napkin hat.

That looks so fun! Put that on my list of things I want to do when we come.
Wow these pictures are awesome! I think I would've been afraid of getting pecked too- I'm with Bodin on that one!
