Off we headed to KOA. We stopped for Arby's for lunch - bad idea to feed to kids in a car - especially when there was a 10 mile backup on I-81. The windows were down for miles and Heather kept laughing every time which meant more "freshness" from the back. At least we weren't focused on the traffic I guess! We arrived at KOA to find out that it was a bit different this year - new owners and a big biker troop staying there. Everyone was nice but the kids kept pointing out how the activities weren't the same....they are, however, building new cabins with bathrooms so we were a bit excited about that! We went to the safari park several times, made dinner over the fire, visited the Natural Bridge, the butterfly park, the new arcade (big hit as there were many fish themed games for the boy), went swimming, and went to the zoo. We missed the animal photo op at the zoo because we awoke Sunday morning to a flat tire on the van - Eric to the rescue! He fixed it so all was well - while the kids were waiting on that I sent them to do crafts and swim so we would avoid bugging him too much so it all worked out.
Trevor kept pointing out the view as we drove - "this is BEAUTIFUL Mom". After we arrived and unpacked to the Safari Park we went!
Say Cheese!
Trevor tried to feed the "camel"
Trevor was convincing the birds to jump in his bucket.
We thought this kangaroo was hysterical - just chilling and relaxing in the shade.
Heather was in love with this baby who held her hand - I was terrified it would rip her hand off.
Smores off the fire.
The new arcade at Natural Bridge.
Then they went mining for fossils and "gems".

Did I mention the Safari Park?
