Backblog 2009-06-20: Gone on Safari!

This place called Wild Animal Safari in Pine Mountain, Georgia was having a Father’s Day special price for dads so we decided to take advantage of the deal. It was just 2 hours away from our house. We got there and bought our tickets, Lily was free since she’s under 3. With enough time for a bathroom break, we got in line to wait for the safari bus. Katherine didn’t want to take our own car. Didn’t matter to me, I would have liked to brag that our 1989 Volvo station wagon was rammed by a water buffalo. The bus had it’s windows taken out so it was more airy which was good. We bought a little bag of animal feed pellets (they didn’t let us take our carrots for the animals) and began throwing them down on the ground for wild boars, emu, bison, zebras, deer, giraffes, rams, longhorns, etc. It was like an hour and a half tour through the lands. It kinda reminded me of Jurassic Park. Once we got back we went walking around in their walkabout zoo which had lions, and tigers, and bears, etc. It was really hot out that day so we had to hop back in the car and head towards the house. It was already like 4pm and we hadn’t had lunch so I saw a billboard for Cracker Barrel so that’s where we went! Click on any of the below thumbnails for a larger picture.
