Field Trip Friday

We usually use our Fridays as a catch up/ field trip day so I am happy to join in with Field Trip Friday hosted by http://thetravelingpraters.blogspot.com/2010/01/field-trip-friday-day-at-art-museum.html

Today we finally went to our local drive through animal park WildLife Safari and activated our membership the kids got for Christmas from Grandma and Papa. I grew up practically within walking distance to this park and for several years as a child my older brothers even worked there. I sometimes don't remember how spoiled I am to have become so accustomed to seeing real live Lions and Tigers and Bears oh my!

Today the excitement of it all was renewed as my kids became so overjoyed by the sights, sounds, and smells. It should be a really exciting year getting to go through the park often and see what new animals we discover each time. Maybe we will even get to see the elusive Hippo out of the water.

Here is a link to the park as I wasn't able to locate my camera this morning but next time we go I will make sure to grab it. :)

Thanks for stopping by and linking up to Field Trip Friday! I hope you'll stop back next week.

Your field trip reminded me of our trip to a drive thru wildlife safari. I have to admit it was a bit frightening when we entered the trail because the animals all came forward and swarmed the car knowing they were going to get fed! We really did enjoy it, and now I recommend it to other people.

Did you need to stop by the car wash afterwards because your vehicle had been slobbered on? Ours got it bad!LOL

Loved reading about your adventure! Happy Field Trippin'!
