Animals Anyone?

So a few weeks ago, we finally got to go see some animals. Ian's been begging us, just about every day to see the animals in Thailand, so we got to go to the Night Safari when Ian had a week off of school. It was one of the best experiences we've had at an animal park. It really was a safari, which I wasn't expecting.

Right before the entrance before you walk into the park:

Didn't realize the animals would be coming right up to you. I was sitting on the side where you can feed them, but if you know me, I am not an animal person. David handed me the carrots, but I freaked out & told him to do it. He had to crawl over all 3 of us and feed the deer:

Here's a video of the feeding:

They take you through the animals in different parts of the world...kangaroos:

Rhinos:

Zebras:

Camels:

Pigs:

These bears were a sight to see:

I was so surprised that Ian was totally willing to get on this elephant for a ride. Thought he'd be scared:

Here's a video of them riding the elephant:

We look forward to frequenting this place often. =)
