Since it has been so beautiful this weekend, we decided to drive to Arkansas for a quick visit to the Wild Wilderness Drive-Through Safari. It was a ton of fun for Addison and for us! During the 4 mile drive, we saw so many animals... hippos, buffalo, bears, etc. Cows, camels, and ostriches all came up to our windows and hung out for awhile up against the car. Addison loved it and kept talking to them!! After the drive, they had several areas to pet animals. There were kangaroos, monkeys, goats, pigs, cows, and even a baby tiger. The kangaroos even had their babies in the pouch. It was amazing to watch the babies just jump in and out of the pouch...crazy!!
The funniest part of the day was with the little monkeys. As one was sitting on my shoulder, he noticed my earings, quickly snatched it and ran! A worker eventually got it back. Immediately after that, Addison was watching another monkey sitting on a chair when he noticed her bow and BAM! He took it right out of her hair and ran! You definitely have to make sure you don't have anything on... they especially LOVE keys! Here are some pictures as well as a video of the monkey stealing her bow. She cried when she realized what he had taken:) Afterwards, we got to have a quick bite to eat with our friends Eric, Michelle and Hannah!
About to jump out...
And quickly back in within a few seconds! Momma doesn't look like she enjoys that part too much:) Or maybe I just feel for her. The other Momma that Addison was feeding had a nice quiet, sleepy little one in her pouch! By the way, that pouch can STRETCH!!
Addison versus monkey. One of the workers did get her bow back and then we thoroughly washed it!
That video is hilarious! It was great seeing you guys! Miss you!
