Wildlife adventure

Today we decided to take the kids to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch, which is about 1.5 hrs from our house. Ava & Drew love animals, so we figured they'd get a kick out of it. We put them up front with us for the drive through(the 'speed limit' is 5mph) & they may have enjoyed all the knobs & buttons that the car had to offer at least as much as the animals! ;) We had one moment when a 'bluebell'(small moose-type animal) stuck his head through the window & sniffed Drew & scared him a bit. It took him a while to want to let any of the animals near our side of the car again! And Jeremy got nipped by a zebra....they say throw the food on the ground for a reason! ;)
It was hard to get good pics(these are from my phone) w/ the kids & animals being so close. I didn't really want just pics of the animals!

They got a little bored after a while & climbed into the back to play!

After the drive-thru part, we ate at the little cafe they have, then headed over to the petting zoo. All they had were goats, but that seemed to be enough for Ava & Drew. They got a little too excited a couple of times & we had to calm them down before they scared the poor animals! :)

We got back on the road to head home around 1:00, about 30-45 minutes past naptime, & they were wiped out. We barely made it out the exit before they were snoozing!
