It was amazing to me how close you could actually get to the animals. Really the only thing separating you was a single chain link fence!
See what I mean? A little scary!
This alligator was a little creepy too!
This was by far the most concerning part of our day. Asa, John and I were walking down this dirt road and on both sides were animals. If you look really closely at the picture below you can see the lion laying down looking at Asa. This lion only moments before this picture was taken was actually actively "stalking" Asa as he was walking down the road. The lion was creeping along the fence line, camouflaging itself with the brush and peering out between branches. This went on the entire length of the fence. It really concerned both John and I which prompted John to hold Asa's hand the rest of the way down the road.
Here's a close up picture of the lion that was stalking Asa.
I could not believe that we were close enough to this Lion to get this picture. Truly an amazing and beautiful creature!
It's my birthday and I can make silly faces if I want to!
We were waiting to take the Safari Train to go see the zebra's and giraffe up close. It was raining pretty heavy at this time. I just loved this picture of Asa's hand catching the rain drops.
But I loved the picture of Asa catching raindrops on his tongue even better!
Zebra's from the Safari Bus.
Do you see the giraffe? Yeah, this is as close as we could get to it. Bummer!
After Out of Africa, we picked up Lexi and headed to Outback Steakhouse for Asa's traditional birthday dinner. Asa got his complimentary birthday dessert, and a special tour of the kitchen by the manager!
After dinner at Outback, we headed to Gramma & Grampa's travel trailer in Buckeye and I got to open my first present! My very own Dyson Vacuum Cleaner! This was a gift from Grandma Dot and Asa loved it! Here he is at home that night vacuuming the family room floor for mommy! Thanks Asa! And thanks Grandma Dot! Asa loves his new vacuum!
