Safari Park

 At last, the day we have been waiting for (except for getting our little girl!)We were supposed to go the the Safari Park with our group on Monday, but since Sophie had a fever we didn't go. Today we got to go and what a good way to spend the last day! It was awesome, probably one of the best zoos I've ever been to!!

This one's for you, Zack! 

Feeding the giraffes!

The giant pandas getting fed huge carrots.

We only had time to see one show, this was the African animals show! It was AMAZING!!


Someone above us was throwing meat to the tigers!
This one's for you, Katie! 

We rode in the van we need at home, it was like an extended van, 3 rows of 2, back row of 3! But it was like a regular van, not huge 12-15 passenger like we used to have! Jake let Sophie sit next to Baba so she wouldn't put her feet on the back of his chair and push him! She talked to the driver for at least 10-15 minutes straight, telling him about the zoo. I wish she could have told us. I will be so excited for the days when we can really communicate! I think she is/will be a chatter bug!

We are having a really late lunch of Papa John's in our room and talking about packing and getting all the electronics ready for travel! I hope this little girl plays her DS a long time. We only let her have it a couple times so it will still be novel for the LONG airplane trip.

Our guide should be here soon with her passport with visa!! We leave our hotel in 13 hours! Flight leaves in 19 hours+14 hour flight+1-2 hours for customs and immigration+ drive home=
HOME IN 36-37 hours!!

  3. So glad you got to go to the zoo! We loved the safari park. Hannah's favorite was the pandas. Happy for you that you are almost home and get to all be together as a family.

    See you soon,
