Our first animal sighting! I'm not really sure what that was though...
We drove right behind Justin & Melissa's truck through the park. Here's Sam looking too cute sitting on his momma's lap and enjoying the ride...
We started off the ride with me sitting in the back seat with the boys, but that didn't work out too well. So, we all moved to the front with Bryce on my lap and Benjamin on daddy's...much better view!
Melissa feeding Mr. Zebra...
Our turn to feed Mr. Zebra...
A scary ostrich approaching our car...
I have a feeling Melissa was guarding Sam from this ostrich invasion...
Luckily, I didn't lose any fingers or skin off my hand...
Is that an emu?
Looks like Benjamin is helping daddy steer the car...
Ben started getting a little restless behind the wheel, so he switched places with Bryce. Here's a self portrait of momma and Ben...
Yikes, they're big...whatever they were!
Well, hello there!
The boys really enjoyed looking at each and every animal...
I guess at some point, Ben got back on daddy's lap to help drive again...
"Did you see me drive, mommy?"
A sweet deer...
I think this was when I got zebra drool on my hand!
We saw a bunch of hungry zebras that day...so many that after awhile, the boys started saying, "no zebra, no zebra!" everytime they saw another one! And, for a few days after our trip, they were still saying it. :)
This one got a little too close for comfort for our Benjamin...
"Help me, mommy!"
"Is he gone yet?!"
Unfortunately, this was the closest we got to a giraffe that day. I guess they weren't as hungry as the zebras!
Half-way through the park, we stopped for bathroom breaks and diaper changes. Here's Sam and Benjamin hanging out...(or, maybe that's Bryce)
And on we went to feed more hungry animals...
Cute little baby...goat? I definitely don't know my animals as well as I thought I did!
Benjamin happily eating his snack...
That thing could probably do some major damage to Justin's truck with those horns!
Justin feeding Mr. Emu...that is an emu, right?
Luckily, the rhinos were blocked off by fences!
Animal drool inside my car!
Before leaving the park, we got out of our cars to take some pictures and to let the boys run around before the long drive home. Here is the loud and crazy Berg family...
And, the sweet and beautiful Jones family...
Attempt #1 to get a picture of the three stooges together...
Attempt #2...
Attempt #3...
Attempt #4...
Last attempt...
At least I can always count on sweet Sam to pose for me!
30 seconds into the drive home, Benjamin was already sound asleep!
Bryce quickly followed. They both slept almost the whole way home! It was the quietest and most relaxing car ride we've ever had with them!!
