Wildlife Safari

the 2 older kids had not been in a few years and peyton had never been, so we decided to take a trip to southern oregon to wildlife safari for the day, we packed up a lunch and lots of drinks in a cooler and headed out
it was a long drive for the kids but they did fine, we only had to stop for 1 potty break

she was so excited!

this was really funny how he had his legs sprawled out to get his neck under for food!

for $20 you can have the elephants wash your car (guaranteed to NOT get your car clean ha)
but it sure was cute, they had little sponges they were holding with their trunks wiping the windows, and they would put their trunks right smack up against the window so you could see just how much water they held in those things while they sprayed!

peyton got to drive

after we went thru the park the first time we stopped at the little "safari village" in the front, to go potty and eat some lunch and walk around and see some of the other animals

bailey brought her camera so she took lots of pics too!

bailey's like me, she knew these goats carried germs so she didn't really want to touch them very much ha ha!

our lil wild animals!

then we took a little train ride around to see even more animals (ryley went to he was just too cool and refused to be seen in the pictures on a kiddie train ha)

the ducks were fun to feed, we bought some duck food and the kids sat and fed them for close to 20 minutes, peyton just LOVED it and did not want to leave them (i think it was her favorite part of the park)

then we drove thru one more time around the safari before it was time to head home and glad we did because we got to see the rhino's this time and a giraffe came right up to our window!

we started heading back home about 5 stopped in corvallis and ate some kfc, we had a fun but long day, next time we decided we will get a hotel and stay to let the kids swim and take a break from the car, but we definatly had fun!
