Avery Zula Day 9

Hey yall, this is Faith again. The mother begged and begged me to put a post up for her since she was too tired to do so herself. Since she bribed me with chocolate, here I am. Today we went to the Safari Park, which was my pick, and it was a lot of fun! We figured Avery would enjoy it since she gets excited every time she sees a stray dog or cat on the island. Which by the way also gave us great hope that she would be thrilled to see our chocolate lab at home...but as it turns out, as soon as one of the little stray dogs started following us the other day, Avery freaked out started running and whining - ran into a bike, fell over, got right back up, and continued running from that tiny little dog.... so, our BIG dog at home might be quite the shocker for Avery.... but in time we think they'll be good friends. BUT, anyways I'm rambling on and got completely sidetracked from what I was originally talking about ( my boyfriend Chris laughs at me constantly for this )...

so anyways! the Safari Park!! We saw all the animals very up close and personal. They are not in the traditional cages we see at our zoos back in the states, but instead just a fence is separating you from the elephants, tigers, and bears.

We even went on a "Safari on Wheels" which drove us right through the plains of all the animals, so that was pretty darn cool as well.

This picture isn't cropped or zoomed either, that zebra was that close =)

But my favorite parts.....

And yes, that is my new outrageously awesome white tiger hat. :-P








Avery really had a great time too! She loved pointing and watching all the animals - esp the cute little babies.

All in all - very fun day

and one very happy little girl

(Sorry you had to suffer through my not so up to par blogging skills, hopefully mom will be up to the task tomorrow evening )
