Safari Time















One afternoon last week the weather was amazing and we didn't have anything planned...rare and wonderful.  Rhonald and I looked at each other after nap time and totally agreed we needed to get out and enjoy the afternoon so we opted for a trip to the animal safari.  It is probably one of Cole's favorite places.  He loves the animals, the space to run and roam and he loves to learn.  It is probably one of Lily Kate's least favorite places as she also loves the space but she is not too fond of the animals.  This trip she actually enjoyed the drive thru portion and had a few animals she wanted to see up close but you can forget it when it comes to the petting zoo.  Sister screamed her head off every time a goat got anywhere near her (and Rhonald held her the entire time).  Cole collected an enormous amount of feathers in his back pocket which, to me, was about the most precious site I have ever seen.  We lucked out on this trip because there were baby animals everywhere - monkeys, tigers, deer....it was wonderful!  Cole was able to bottle feed a baby tiger and he has talked about that everyday since we went.  Even though Lily was not in heaven by any means she also had fun and ended up laughing more than crying :)!  I feel so blessed to have these days with my family.
