We're thankful that we arrived fairly early in the day, because the lines are starting to get a bit long and the sun is almost toasty. Immediately, we spot a mama buffalo with her new baby!
We had purchased food for the animals and a "slobber towel" which proved to be very wise purchases, especially when the giraffe reached inside the bus for a snack!
Our driver, Mike, was VERY knowledgeable, as well as funny, and we all learned SO much! The ride lasted just over an hour and we saw buffalo, bison, deer, elk, pigs, sheep, lions, donkeys, horses, turtles, emu, llamas, ostriches, geese, ducks, and a rhino. Afterwards, we enjoyed "The Walk About" where we fed many other animals - sheep and baboons, plus visited with lions, tigers, snakes, hyenas, a peacock, and turtles.
Once back "home", we had lunch in the camper, and then Zaydie played with Lily and David while Bubbie helped the local economy (shopped) in the cute little town of Pine Mountain.
Our camper was conveniently located next to the playground, so we enjoyed the swings and slides. Later, we hiked around the campground collecting kindling for our campfire.
Thank you, Zaydie, for the campfire, so we could enjoy s'mores - the perfect ending to a perfect day!
