Oh The Places We'll Go!: Another Day, Another Safari

So if you've been following our posts, you'll notice how we love zoos. We're like zoo conisseurs. Connor is fascinated with animals, and we just love looking at the expressions on his face when we go to the zoo and get an upclose look at what they have to offer. We managed to get to the Oregon safari before we left, and little did we know, but there's another safari not far from our new home near Toledo (and the real African Lion Safari, we actually drive past on our way through Canada towards Buffalo...guess where's next!?)

This one was better than the Oregon one, but not nearly as neat as the Canadian African Lion Safari. You drive up and pay, and then get the option of purchasing carrots to feed the animals (we went overboard with the carrots, assuming Connor would love to feed them. NOT) and then drive through, sighing and mumbling at the people who've fed the ostrichs their entire bag of carrots, all with a smile on your face. You're pretty much "awwing" at the little ones feeding the animals, or "ewwing" at the saliva and drool rolling down the side of your window while you yourself feed them. Connor was absolutely terrified of the animals and refused to feed them, so Ryan and I pretty much did all the grunt work while Connor watched. I think he enjoyed bouncing around in the seats and flip-flopping back in forth from the back to the front without his seatbelt more. The things we do for our kids :p
