Our Safari Adventure

Yesterday we went on an awesome ride through Fossil Rim Wildlife Center. It's located in Glen Rose, which is only about 40 miles away. It's not really a safari, because the animals aren't indigenous to the area, but I kept telling the kids we were "going on safari" because it sounds more exciting that way. Anyway, takes about two hours to drive through the whole park, but that's going at a very slow speed (about 15 mph), stopping and taking pictures, and feeding the animals. The kids did really well with sitting for so long. You have to stay in your vehicle at all times, but you can roll down your windows and feed the animals food that is provided for you when you buy your admissions tickets. They walk right up to the car, and it's awesome! I'd say it's even better than any zoo we've been to. God's creation is so amazing. Here are a few pictures from our visit. Just so you know, the quality of my pictures isn't great. We went with my parents, so we had a car full of people, and I sat in the third row of our SUV. The windows don't roll down in the far back, so I had to keep leaning over the middle seat over the girls' car seats and sticking my camera out the window. Then the girls would scream when the animals came too close, so I was yelling "Close the windows! No, crack the windows! Open the window wider!" to Miller the whole time. Poor guy, he was such a good sport. Oh, and I also realized where I get my love for photography. My dad was yelling the same things, "Stop the car! Stop the car! Let me get a picture!" So anyway, some of my pictures were taken through cracked windows at weird angles.

Here are the girls in front of the admissions office.

No zoom on these pictures. The animals are really that close!
