My brother called me bright and early on Sunday morning, inviting us to meet them in northwest Arkansas for the day. We had planned to go to church, but we haven't seen them in a few weeks, and the weather was so nice, that we couldn't turn down the trip!
We drove from Tulsa to Gentry, Ar (about an hour and a half away) to the Animal Safari and Petting Zoo. My brother and his wife had been a few years ago, and the girls are all the perfect age.
When we arrived, we let the girls look at a few animals. Surprisingly, MC wasn't afraid and walked right up to the animals to pet them.
She loved the pot belly pig!
Here are the girls and I checking out the pig.
Then, we went and checked out some chickens.
And the kangaroo's. They were not scared at all, and you could walk right up and touch them.
MC loved the kangaroos!
G was more interested in playing on the rocks and was ready for her Gee to arrive!
Once my brother, sister in law, niece, and my mom arrived, we had a picnic lunch.
Then, we went to check out more animals!
G had to climb on top of the gorilla to take her picture, and she started to make gorilla/monkey noises!
We were able to get MC up there too.
We walked down to see more animals.
And G found a lion, which again, she had to get her picture on! This time she roared!
You could bring your own bread, or buy from the zoo for $1.00. The girls enjoyed feeding the animals.
G chased a peacock!
I love that there were animals just roaming around!
My brother fed this parrot. There were also snakes and a huge porcupine in the barn. (We didn't stay long in here! I was too afraid the porcupine would shoot his spike out!)
We went into another barn that had baby animals! Amelia loves cats, and she was so excited to pet one!
MC wasn't as sure about it! Pretty sure it's the biggest "cat" she's ever seen!
These piglets were nursing!
And, this is a baby giraffe! He was so tall!
Afterwards, we loaded back into the car for the drive through portion of the zoo.
You are not suppose to feed the animals, but shhh- we did. The animals are use to being fed from the cars despite the warnings, but they walked right up to the cars for food! Literally, they were right at your windows and sometimes, their head was in your car!
This guy was really trying to get some food! I had been looking out DJ's window and turned and saw this giant head and teeth! It scared me to death, but was so funny!
I love G's expression in this picture! We rolled her window down a tad and she was terrified!
It was such a fun afternoon! The drive over was easy and the girls had a blast! Although, i'm pretty sure the grown ups had more fun during the drive through portion of the trip! We were all screaming and laughing! The drive through exhibit also has tigers, coyotes, and bears! Don't worry, we didn't feed them as they're all safely secured in their cages!
