Last week, to celebrate the one sunny day that was given to us, we traveled with friends to the Lake Tobias Safari/Petting Zoo. http://www.laketobias.com/safari/The safari tour is terrific: school buses with the tops cut off, a tour guide who dispenses information and bad jokes, and tons of llamas, alpacas, buffalos, zedonks (half zebra, half donkey), emus, deer, and more come right up to the bus, stretch out their furry necks, and eat the crackers and popcorn we've bought especially for them, right out of hand!

The kids spent a (really, really, really) long time in the petting area of the park. Friendly goats, baby camels, chubby, tiny ponies, and silly looking llamas follow
ed us around and cooperated to the fullest extent for tons of petting fun --(oh! Watch out for that poop pile!)

Watch out for that poop pile!)The zoo included monkeys, baboons, alligators, lions, camels, capybara, and many more familiar and unusual animals. The kids (12 in all) were wiped out at the end of our 5 hour day there. We headed back to the parking lot, scraped the poop off our shoes, collapsed into the minivans, and headed home.
