Safari Park Pictures

We thoroughly enjoyed our day at the Safari Park. We began by taking a train through an area that had lions and tigers and bears, oh my! There were also giraffes and zebras and much more. Other than the predators, the animals roamed freely. We even had a giraffe cross in front of our train. At the walk around part of the park, the kids got to feed elephants, white tigers and giraffes. Preston & Shaling also got to ride an elephant. Brock took numerous videos and I took 85 pictures, but deleted over half of them. I tried to be selective as I chose what to post here. These are the pictures; the videos are yet to come.

Brock first tried to hold the husband of this parrot, but it bit him...and latched on hard. The wife was more cooperative. Preston eventually got brave and stood next to him and then Shaling soon followed.

These 4 pictures are from the elephant show. The elephants danced, played basketball, played soccer, did relay races, and did some gymnastics. During one of the head stands, an individual elephant gave us a bonus...apparently it couldn't hold it any longer and did a "#2" while standing on its head.






Can you believe the trash cans?


The rest of these are from the train tour, which was actually at the beginning, but since the kids aren't in them, I saved them for last. The first picture (the giraffe crossing) was actually in the middle of the tour, but the rest of these are in the order in which we came upon them.
