So Virginia is home to this amazing drive through safari. We opened bought four buckets of feed, opened up the van doors and piled the kids in for a drive of a lifetime. There were llamas GALORE, plus zebra, ostriches, wildebeast, gazelle, antelope, potbelly pigs, camels, rheas, emus, bison, watusis...oh and a yak. You pay to get in and then you can drive through as many times as you want. The first half of the drive, half the kids were hiding under the console. I must admit, I was a little nervous when the HUGE camels came over to eat. Their heads would come right into the car. One camel mouthed our DVD players and got them all nasty. So if you ever come to visit...be sure we are going here!

(i love seeing little Oscars hand gripping the antlar of this deer--Leah's face says it all...those llamas SMELLED!)
