Wild Life!

Today we went to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch with Grandma to enjoy a lovely, sunny day. Perfect for going on safari! After watching Madagascar 1 and 2 so many times, it was fun for the boys to see some of the animals in real life. The first thing we saw when we got there was the giraffe enclosure. The boys were excited and Alan even cried out "Melman!". Since we got there mid-morning, it wasn't too busy yet and we finished the circuit without too much waiting. Lunch, and then we saw a peacock outside the gift shop! The lemurs were laying out in the sun, probably trying to get warm after yesterday's snow. Then it was one more go around the park, much slower this time as everyone else also decided this was a perfect day to feed the critters. What a fun day and one we will be sure to repeat!


This rather cheeky zebra was quite curious
