Last week, Grandma Lynda and I took the kiddies to the Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari.
You might be wondering...
A drive through safari? In Arkansas? What is that?
Exactly what it sounds like. You drive. The animals come up to your car.

Um...You keep your windows closed.We started out with the petting zoo.
Obviously, my daughters were terrified of everything and thought the baby kangaroos and goats were going to eat them alive. Quincy told just about every animal in the petting zoo,
"I not your friend!"
This little buddy won their hearts.
"He looks like Baby Corbin, Mom!"Yeah...I hope not. They did have matching diapers...maybe that's what she was referring to. If only Corbin would suck HIS thumb.
I have a cute video of Reese laughing at the large apes swinging around, but can't get it to upload. It is pretty cute, I'll try again later.
Here are a few pics from our adventure:
They really loved the pot belly pigs and bunny areas. Reese fell in LOVE with a little white bunny (they let you hold the baby bunnies) and wanted to bring him home. It was so cute, I was half tempted to do just that. We need to start off small...maybe a Pet Rock is in order.
THIS picture is for Jordan...the chinchilla!
the crazy lady who drags three kids to the Safari, so she can feel like a good mom.
My white legs could be an exhibit of their own. Corbin is under there. He was more interested in eating my shirt than the fancy Zebra behind us.
For the record, it was not ME who over ruled the seat belt/car seat laws during the Safari. We let a lot of things go when Grandma's come to visit.
We arrived at lunch time for the Big Cats. Last time I visited the Safari, all the cats were lying around and sleeping, and were quite uninteresting and difficult to see. Watching them viciously devour their meals reminded me why there are two fences around these bad boys. Yikes.
The entrance to this place kind of looks like the big gates in Jurassic Park. I felt like telling everyone to "keep their hands and legs inside the jeep at all times" but I didn't need to, because there were large signs posted everywhere.
A few animals we saw that I didn't post pictures of were a Giraffe, Pea Hippos, Bears, Antelope, Wildebeests, Prairie Dogs, Capybaras, Exotic Birds, and so much more.It was pretty awesome.

I couldn't stop laughing when I read what Quincy was telling all the animals. That is too funny!!! Looks like you guys had a nice visit. Corbin is so perfect, he looks like a little doll baby instead of a real person baby ;-)
Your kids crack me up. It's a good thing that Corbin doesn't look like that baby monkey! :)
How close is that cammil to your car?
I love the picture of the chinchilla? Did you get to hold it or touch it? Was it super soft? What did the girls think of it?
