Natural Bridge - Day Two

Getting ready for the "glowy" wagon ride with our light up glasses and glow bracelets.

Here's where Eric started getting mad at me. I'm feeding this elk from the sunroof. He's screaming about scratching the car. The Elk ended up snatching my bucket.

The safari was packed but it worked out well because Trevor was able to take a nap.



Even Eric got into the feeding.

Our car is trashed. I plan to spend this week cleaning it up.

Back at the safari park.

Of course, my little model Heather looks perfect in this photo - she's the only one besides the tiger!

Riding the elephant.

Trevor decided to take on an alligator - all right so its not real - he was really into it!

After my llama mauling, I inquired where the kids had gone and why I was the only one in the pen. The response was several snickers. I think I was set up.

They loved the baby camel. He was so soft and keep bawling. He just wanted anyone to touch him and keep him company.

The zoo had lots of babies!

Back at the KOA campgrounds.

Saturday we went to the Natural Bridge Zoo, got lunch to go at the Pink Cadillac Diner (we were concerned about leaving the dog and his barking, but later found out he was doing great via a nice neighbor who let us know that another cabin had three yipping dogs and thus we had nothing to worry about), did another Safari Park tour, yet more swimming, played some air hockey (watch out the kids are pretty good if you challenge them), played at the various playgrounds and went on a night time wagon ride provided by the campground. The campground had daily and nightly activities for all the kids - that was an unplanned bonus but the catch was we didn't know to plan for it so we had to constantly purchase the gimicks at their store so our kids could participate. Luckily their stuff was pretty reasonably priced. Saturday night the wagon ride theme was glowy. They failed to mention that once the wagon started, you were to scream your heads off the entire time and use any noisemakers you have. Two kids next to us had whistles. Trevor and I did NOT appreciate the whistles and I honestly thought about shoving one of them down....well I degress. At the zoo we got our photo with a baby tiger and fed him milk. I also got mauled by llamas and we rode an elephant. After all that, you'd think Trevor would pick something exciting to be his favorite but my boy picks the fish tank that's in the gift shop right as you walk in. Heather's favorite was the elephant....I think. She keeps changing her mind!
