Our Safari Adventure

On Monday my mom took off of work and took us all to the Safari Park out in Port Clinton. It's a really neat place that allows you to drive through a huge area with all kinds of deer, elk, buffalo, llamas, giraffe, zebras, etc. roaming free. They come right up to your car and stick their heads in looking for carrots and cups of food that you buy there. Ian thought it was pretty funny but didn't want them licking him or snorting on him...haha. He didn't have any treats so they weren't too interested in him anyways. Alexis seemed to like seeing the animals too as they stuck their heads in the car.
There was also an area where you could get out of the car and do pony and camel rides...unfortunately Ian was too short...maybe next year. But he got to play on the playground and see some other cool animals in cages. The most exciting part was the pig race. We didn't get any pics of that on our digital camera but basically they just let four pigs out of stalls and they raced around a track while everyone cheered for them. Ian laughed and yelled "Oink, oink!" as they ran past.

Tomorrow we leave for St. Louis and will spend the night with our friends there before heading on to Ft. Riley on Friday. It's hard to believe our two weeks are up already but we are really lucky to be getting these few extra days together out in Kansas. And it won't even be three months more before Brian is home for good!
