Animal Adventures

I have been spring cleaning like a mad woman! Its so hard with the 3 little ones, and I have been trying so hard to get out of the house at least once a week to give all of us a break. But last week we didn't do anything extra or fun. I owed my little ones!  So with a Groupon and some friends we took off to Animal Adventure!

 

I can't lie. When we first pulled up to a few random trailers with some pigs and goats outside I was taken back. It wasn't exactly what I imagined, but we were on an adventure! =)

 

Clearly, Cole was very excited about it =)

 

After a quick group photo we were off!

 

When we got inside the kids immediately gathered around the bunnies. They were so excited when they found out they could pet them =)

 

This is a female owl. They get larger than their male counterparts. Also, did you know that they can carry something up to 40lbs to eat?!?!? YEAH! So here you think your cat or dog went missing, and you are blaming it on coyotes?? Eye to the sky my friend, it  may be your local owl. CRAZY right?!?

This cute little dog, wasn't so cute...this little red fox screeched like nothing I ever heard before and that was a typical sound for the red fox.

 

The kids were captivated and really interested in all the animals. Kyle knew a lot about the birds (and let everyone know) from the movie Rio =)

 

Cole, was very into it......

 

 

 

When the keeper announced we were going to be seeing a skunk next this was the immediate reaction.....

 

Of course the gland that they would use to spray us was removed; and we were surprised to learn that skunks actually make really good pets. They like being snuggled and pet, much like a cat.

 

When Cole did finally wake up he was in awe of everything! He especially liked the bunnies and the turtles. He would run back and forth between the 2.

 

This place had A LOT of gators and a lot of snakes. I was shocked to learn that all the gators and snakes were peoples pets!!!  Yup!  Why are people so ridiculous??? That is cruel to the animal and so dangerous for you.

 

My pretty niece =) I love these of her, I had to include them =)

 

It was a great day out. A good day with friends. A fabulous break from cleaning and actually despite the drizzle and cool temperatures a good day to go.

 

I enjoyed our adventure! =)
