Our "Drive Thru Safari" Adventure (Pics & Video!)

Cute, right? Ha!

Can we say adventure? This was a memorable day! I wanted to take the kids to a Drive-Thru Zoo for a long time, because I remember my grandparents taking us as children and petting animals thru the car windows as they came up. Maybe I should have waited for Papi, but it always seems like we're in a hurry when Ben is with us to get back home. So, I took advantage of this time (since we left early right?), and we made a detour!

The information we got before going through the park said, "For your protection, DO NOT get out of your vehicle." And I we began our journey thru, there were signs everywhere that read, "For your protection, video surveillance is used in this area." The first area we drove by was by a pond with several ducks...well, we had food and of course, we wanted to stop and feed them. But, how in the world was I supposed to tell if there were any left under the car when we were ready to roll?

Clue: don't stop at the duck pond!! Notice the cute brown and white ducky? He met Jesus on Sunday! I felt terrible as the other ducks were along the side of the pond just watching their little friend. Terrible! What could I do? The sign said don't get out of your vehicle!

As we drove further, we saw a few zebras. They were beautiful! Saw some deer and several other animals...and then the two camels! Oh, so cute! We've got to stop and feed them! Well, check out the videos below! Hilarious! I think the kids were more traumatized by the camel than the poor ducky!

I guess I should have paid more attention to those last two words: "DRIVE SAFELY!" I wonder if they got my tag number? I should send a condolence card. I feel awful...poor ducky!
