virginia safari park

Jason's parents came for a visit two weeks ago. It was fun to explore our new home together. From the movies, to sushi, to a horse-drawn carriage tour through historic downtown Fredericksburg, we had a blast.

An obvious highlight was the Safari Park! Here we are on the wagon ride-



I just like this picture, taken from the wagon. He's checking us out, daring us to invade his privacy a little more.

Feeding the reindeer. Grandpa loved enticing the reindeer over to him with his food, and then grabbing on to their antlers. Did you know reindeer have furry antlers? I didn't! They are covered in fur!



About five bison all charged toward the wagon at once, stopping just short, all vying to get a bite from our buckets. One got more than just a bite, he stole the entire thing from the lady sitting next to us!


The guide warned us of the camels. They are notorious bucket thieves! We saw one steal a bucket, and then proceed to stick the entier thing in its mouth and chew it all up. We drove away before we could see if he swallowed it or not, but I wouldn't have been surprised. Here is Macie, holding on to her bucket with all the strength her two-year-old arms could muster! (This guy looks like he's wearing a toupee!)


Mothers, do you do this? I always just take a random picture of myself to prove I was there! See? HERE I AM!



Feeding the llamas. Macie ADORED the llamas. She loves our "Llama llama" books, and I think that's why she was so excited to see them. They were soft and sweet, and she kept waving to them over and over and over. It was pretty cute.


Addie, always the animal lover, couldn't get enough.



Lots O' Llamas!
