Drive Thru Wilderness Safari

We FINALLY made it to Gentry to go to the drive thru safari today.  SO FUN!!!!!  We went with Becca and the girls and all the kids had such a great time!!  We let the big kids get unbuckled and sit with us up front while we drove through the property.  Colin and Ella thought they were big stuff.
Isn't it normal to have a camel blocking the driveway so you can't pass?  The kids thought this was the funniest thing ever.
ALL the animals come right up to your window because they think you will give them food!  We kept our windows up and locked though, so they mooved on (see what I did there?).
These cows and a few buffalo would just creep right out in the driveway and hang out.  I thought they would surely move if I kept driving...nope.  So, we just stayed put until they decided to move.
They had lots of little baby animals!  These are the two baby giraffes and Colin and Ella fed them some lettuce.  They just giggled when the giraffe licked their hands!  They also had the cutest little lion cubs and teeny tiny monkeys.
Colin and Ella were obsessed with these teeny baby pigs (only a week old!!). I was a little worried the mama pig was going to attack, so they kids mostly kept their distance.

The wee little loves, Claire and Mason, also had a great time. They both made animal sounds at all the exhibits we saw including while driving.  This was such a fun thing to do, and we will definitely be back!!!
