Day # 8 of our AZ & CA VACA

Today was one of our highlights of the trip! Instead of going to Disneyland or Sea World/Zoo we decided to go to "OUT OF AFRICA" in AZ! It was AWESOME! It is not a zoo and is nothing like what we had ever done before! It is just like you are in AFRICA, but you aren't! The animals are so cool and not ones you see everyday! The really neat thing is, you see them super close and in their natural habitat! We fed the giraffe and camels carrots, but later in the day they did the predictor feed! All the lions, tigers, hyena's + all got meat! We got to go around and watch them get fed! So neat, kinda gross..but neat! We watched shows like "Tiger splash" where tigers do tricks with people! Another show I got called up to hold a NASTY snake! Not just a snake...and BIG python! UGH!! They of course wanted to heal peoples fears of snakes. I am the first to say, it did not heal me! AT ALL! UGH UGH UGH! I do not like snakes one bit!! We hit all the shows and saw all there was to see until it closed! It was a HOT day...but sooo fun and we all LOVED it!
 

 
 Getting on the first bus!
 
 Ready to feed the animals!
 
Even crew had some carrots to feed!
 
 Here one comes!
 
 They are much bigger right in your face! Like RIGHT in your face!
 
 Most fed with their hands!

 Not my love...he fed this honey with his mouth! Big ol black tongue slapped across his face! IT was a crack up!

 The instructor then did it after! HA HA! So cute! Not something you get to do everyday!

 We saw lots of other animals along our ride!

 

 

 We then were able to walk anywhere and everywhere or ride different buses around to see everything. We did a bit of both! So much to see! So much to do! We enjoyed all they had to offer...all day! All the shows were amazing!

 

 So close and soooo cute!

 Tiger SPLASH! A fun highlight!

 

 

 It was VERY hot day and baby Crew was super HOT...but still HAPPY! We all got a bunch of sun that day!

 This big dude was kinda fun to touch!
 
 I got called up to hold him.....

 YUCKY! I touched him!
 

 I held the tail! Ha Ha

Tate is in that group of kids to enjoy the snake! I guess I did not raise him well. ;)

The lion got him a rib at the feed!

 

 It sure was a grand ol day! We then were on our way out! It was soooo much fun and very worth it all!  We then hit the road! Our goal was to get into Utah at least to stay the night!
