Wild Wilderness Drive-through Safari

Yes, there is such a thing in Arkansas and it's crazy!
About 25 minutes from us is a 4 mile drive-through safari. Several of the animals are in cages, but most of them are not!
The craziest thing was that the animals come right up to your car...especially the ostriches!
Enter at your own risk!
"Hello, can I help you?"
Yes, this bird is actually pecking on the window of our car! There is a reason why there are signs all over the place saying, "Keep Windows Rolled Up at All Times!"

Bailey making friends with a llama.
Bailey loved it. Every time she saw an animal she just squealed.
Getting up close and personal.
"I see something with a hump on it's back," says Bailey.
Yep, it's Mr. Camel....
...who wants to eat the mirror!
More animals.


There were plenty more animals that we saw and they also have a petting zoo. I was hoping to get some good pictures of Bailey there, but the day we went it was about 95 degrees outside, so we decided to save that for another day.
The next time we have visitors, we have a new place to take you!

I love it! You were not kidding about those birds coming right up to the window... We will have to go out and see sometime ourselves.. Doesn't get much better than this in Northwest Arkansas:)

Oh Bailey Boo: Your Mommy & Daddy should be so happy we were not with you on this little excursion, for we sure would have to be put in a cage ourselves. We would be riding on one of the critters. Oh, fun!

Mommy will have to tell you the time we came crashing down on one of you Great Uncle (Jim's) BIG horses! (It was not our fault thought)!

Much Love, xox
