Wild Wilderness Safari

taking a break from thrifted thursday this week to share photos from our recent trip to the wild wilderness safari.

it was so.much.fun.


we have been wanting to take the kids for a while and i'm so glad we did!
we all loved it.
it was AJ, sawyer & ruby's first time to go and the big boys didn't really remember it so that made it extra fun.


there are four big areas where you can go in and hang out with the animals, pet them, pick them up, chase them, whatever you fancy.


i just loved those cute little piggies.
there are all kinds of animals roaming around together, it was crazy!


there were tons of peacocks.
i think those peacocks like each other because they were everywhere.


this kangaroo had a giant baby in her pouch.
more like a toddler.
it looked painful!
big legs sticking out everywhere.
i think i'd be giving that baby the boot.


the safari is so much more fun that the zoo {i think} because you get to be in the pins with the animals.
you do feel like things could go terribly wrong at any moment.
we like to live on the edge.




this peacock seemed to be giving his lady a show.
he kept following her around shaking his feathers at her the whole time we were there.


wow. God's creativity right there.
so fun to talk about with our kids.
how God is the most creative of all and how He created every color every imagined and he provides for his creation with defense mechanisms. so amazing!!!
we spent the whole time amazed at God's handiwork.
also, that peacock there....the blue of his head was amazing.
the deepest cobalt blue but shimmery. breathtaking, really.



the monkeys put on a big show for us. so fun!





so fun to be this close to giraffes!
how beautiful are they?!!!


okay i know this is so many pictures, but i took over a hundred so it was hard to slim down! :)




it was one of those mornings that i wanted to last forever.
you just want to stop the clock.
it is so peaceful out there.


ruby got brave enough to feed the goats.
she loved it!

after all the petting and looking in cages, we went on the drive-thru part which took like an hour.
it was awesome!



the animals came so close!
seriously we were all giddy, exclaiming over every animal.




then she decided she wanted that window back. up.  ;)



zebras are so pretty!!!



hey there giant rhino.
there were so many cool animals....white bengal tiger, black bear, lions, hippos, etc. 


such a great morning....if you're local, i highly recommend it.



yay for summer!
summer foreverrrrrrrrr.  :)

  2. Wow!! That looks amazing!
    We got to watch a male peacock do the same thing recently- we stood there for almost an hour just watching how beautiful (and funny!) he was.
    What a great safari!
