While in Virginia over Spring Break we went to a really cool animal safari park. The animals came right up to your car and stuck their heads in our windows trying to get food. At first we were all a little taken aback by how aggressive they were, but we soon got used to it - and you kids had a blast feeding all the animals. What a memorable trip!
The ostrich was probably the craziest of all the animals. It would come up and peck at the bucket very hard and then run away with a mouth full of food. Strange creature for sure.
This picture is for Pop. Not too hard to spot an elk here! Hee Hee!!
The camels were pretty crazy too. There was a sign up that said they would eat the food and the bucket. They weren't lying - those crazy camels took the bucket right our of my hand and chewed it up. One of them then picked up an empty bucket off the ground and tried to hand it back to us. 
These were spider monkey's. Rebekah you were especially interested in these guys. 
They would use their tails to reach grass that was way outside of their cage and pull it back in to eat it. I suppose even monkey's think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence - LOL!
McKinney, you were only concerned about two animals. The tigers and the cheetahs. This is the first of your favorites. 
Happy boy!
The very last habitat we came to was what McKinney had been waiting for all day long. You love the cheetahs buddy. You think it is cool that they are the fastest land animal and you want to be as fast as they are.
After leaving the safari park, we stopped at this beautiful spot on the side of the road. We followed the James River the entire drive to the safari park and it was absolutely beautiful.
