Lion Country Safari Field Trip

Last week we went on another outing with our homeschool group and it was a blast!!  We went to Lion Country Safari and it was a success.


The only downside was that we had to get up super early (for us) so we could drop the hubs off at work.  When I looked at the directions the day before it said it would take an hour to get there.  To my surprise my husband said we needed to have him at work at 7:30am.  Ugh!

We got there over an hour early.  When we arrived I realized I didn't bring change to feed the fish or lorikeets.  You can click here to view the different lorikeets at Lion Country Safari.  As I looked over this page, I realized I probably saw some of the very lories they had pictured.

Anyway, we did the drive-through and we had ostriches, rinos, and zebras walk in front of our vehicle.  There were tons of other animals in the drive-through but those were the ones that took over the road.

 

Just an FYI, all of the above photos were taken by Kira as I drove!  She's doing a great job with her photography skills!

Anyway, back to the park.  There was a splash park and a couple of water slides that I think all of the kids played in or at.  We spent a lot of time at the lorikeets I mentioned above.  Here are just a few pictures of the many I took!






Now the highlight of the trip for me was feeding the giraffes!  This guy liked to pose.  "Take my picture!"  Then of course we rewarded him with a treat. 
  
 


 This concluded our adventure and then it was time to return home.  Until our next adventure...
