Labor Day Fun

This morning we went to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch in San Antonio. We went to the caverns there last year when my brother Mark came to visit, and thought that the Wildlife Ranch would be a fun family activity for today. Basically, they have a bunch of African animals on this huge preserve, and you drive your car through it to see them and feed them. Price was a little on the high side, but the kids loved it and we all had a good time together. Here's some of what we saw (WARNING: lots of pictures...)Look how close these animals got to our car!!!(Don't worry, Mom, we rolled the windows up in time - the zebras were very friendly!)
They also had some other animals like lemurs (behind my right shoulder here) and some cool parrots and macaws.
The kids also had a blast in the petting zoo. The baby goats were really cute and Jensen kept saying, "Soft." I was lucky to get out of there with all my clothes still in tact- several of those little goats tried to eat my pants!

If we ever make enough money to be able to come visit you, we so need to do that. That looks so fun!

My kids loved that place too! When we were there the ostrige wouldn't take his head out of the car infront of us! It was really fun to have them get so close.If it wasn't so pricey we would go back.

Looks like fun! It is always fun to see kid's eyes light up when they get to see animals. I wish we had a zoo. Oh, well I guess more reasons to go on vacations!

That is the coolest thing ever. I might need to make a trip to Texas just to go there! How fun.
