Animals and such

Over spring break we took a day and went to the Out of Africa Wildlife Park. It was actually pretty neat. They take you on a safari tour at the beginning with the tamer animals :D Zebras, Giraffs, Osterich, etc would come right up to the bus. They also gave you carrots to feed the giraffs with and we didn't get a picture, just a really good video. It was really neat, the giraff came right up and stuck it's head in the bus right next to you. Emrie was a little speechless, but she now has a new favorite animal, the giraff and camel is next in line. She asks to see them everyday.

I thought this was pretty funny. This bear ran over and sat down at the picnic table to eat a watermelon rine. Just looked really funny.

They also did some shows throughout the day. This was Tigersplash. They don't train any of the animals, just bring out things they like and try to stay out of the way :D Emrie loved it. She squealed and clapped quite enthusiastically.

And the day ended with a much much tired little girl since we were almost 4 hours past nap time.

We went to Gilbert last weekend for my mom's big 50 birthday. We did a suprise party and my Aunt Cindy and Leah and Grandma came and suprised her. She was pretty happy.

While we were down they had a little festival at the Reparian Presearve and they had a lot of animals. Emrie pet this lizard thing (not sure what it was) for a long time.

And she loved this Rabbit. It was only 1/2 grown. Crazy! I didn't know they get that big.

It really was a fun couple of outings. Can't wait to take another little vacation :D
