Fossil Rim

Everyone is still in town so today we went to Fossil Rim!! We had a blast, everyone enjoyed themselves! Here is Katie and Delaney feeding the Emu. The giraffes are the best part of the whole thing. At first we didn't think that they were out because it was a little cold. I called the office while we were driving through because I was upset they didn't tell us that they weren't out. The lady on the other line said,"oh no the giraffes aren't out today I'm sorry they didn't tell you that!" Then she came back and said "oh yeah the giraffes are out but they are free to roam so they might not be were you can see them." Lovely there cop-out for not having the giraffes out"free roaming"

But as you can see I was wrong and the giraffes were out!!! Yipppeeee!!!

Caroline was totally into the animals, I wasn't sure she would get "it", oh but she got it all right!! Joann let me borrow her car which has a sun roof so the giraffe can stick his head down inside the car!!

This animal was so slobbery!! Caroline wasn't afraid at all!

Ryan was in heaven!!

The zebras were so cool and there was a little baby one too!

Okay so Delaney wanted the ostrich to peck at the closed window(apparently they had done it before and she LOVED it) so Katie being the good mom that she is was willing to risk life and LIMB literally to try and get the ostrich to peck at the window by feeding him a little bit and then try to roll up the window quickly. Well if you didn't already know ostriches are not nice at all, they are VERY aggressive and bite really hard! So Katie kept putting food in her hand to feed the bird, the first time he bit her Brent stepped on the peddle and about drove off with the birds neck still in the car. By her third try the ostrich actually broke the skin and she decided Delaney was going to survive without the bird pecking the window but she might not make it home with all her fingers at this rate!!!

I think she would have taken him home if I let her!!

Still not afraid!!!
