Gettin Wild!

We were super lucky that Deanne offered us her free passes to the Wild Animal Park last week. It was fun, we had 4 kids and 4 adults (me, Deanne, Dawn and Auntie Lydia)
Whatchu lookin' at? Nate was too freaked out to feed the deer but Zach was all over it! This dear only had 1 eye, the other side had a big crater that fascinated the kids Behind the boys 2 lions are eating bunny rabbits - nasty!This cat-thing (I missed it's name) came out and the trainer flung toys on a rope above it's head and it would flip backwards and catch it. My boys LOVED it!We did the tour "safari" thing, here we are waiting in line for itHere we are on itAnd here's what my boys spent a good portion of the tour doing: not looking at the animals, looking thru the holes in the seat!Flamingos!We came across this water play area and my boys couldnt resist getting wet.The kids kept waiting for this bucket to fill up and dump, they loved it.Nate was SO happy to play in the water, he could have spent all day there.Luckily I brought changes of clothes and shoes.Learning about compost (not really)
There was a cute playground we spent some time letting the kids run at.
Dont worry this is a pretend rhino.Calm down, this lion is also pretend.The kids all got to pick something special on the way out, Nate chose this mask. The whole way out we kept saying things like "What a cute panda" and he'd rip off the mask and say "It's just a mask!" "Uh oh, a panda is escaping the zoo" "It's just a mask!" Nate thought it was hilarious :)
