Last Saturday, we journeyed out to the Gentry Wildlife Safari. It is only about 45 minutes from our house, and it has both a drive-thru Safari and an awesome petting zoo. My parents took me here when I was little, and even though I don't really have many memories of it, it definitely surpassed my expectation. This place is pretty cool and has tons of different kinds of animals...some to just look at and some to pet (like kangaroos and lion cubs!).
Mills loved the drive-thru part, especially since she got to ride up front with me...but she also recognized a lot of animals that we have talked about: camels, zebras, tigers, lions, bears, buffalo, monkeys
She didn't really love the petting zoo...it was a little too up close and personal. She wouldn't touch any of the animals, but really you can't blame her...they were kind of stinky and strange looking. Had it been kittens and puppies, it would've been a different story. ;)
Afterwards, we hit the local McDonald's for some lunch and she fell asleep in the car on the way home. What a fun little field trip!
