The Oldfield 6

Currently in mourning….. I just lost this whole post …. will get back to you later… I hope….  NOOOOO Fair

At coffee Monday, well actually it was drinks and food for 2 of the girls birthdays. Anyway while I was there my playdate buddy asked if I wanted to go to the Lion Safari with the twins and her daughter, I quickly called my Mom and asked to borrow her van since I don’t trust my truck for that drive, she said yes. She then asked if we could bring on of the other ladies along with us since she was being babysit at the grandparents that day, she said yes as well… So as long as the weather was not rainy we were off to the Safari for some play time.

 I got up Tuesday at a run, I had to get the older 2 up and out the door and the twins dressed and ready for swimming, as well as a lunch packed for the Safari and all the required clothes and such. After swimming we dropped my Mom off at work and headed home to grab a stroller and snack bag. We met just inside the gate at 11am 2 ladies and 4 2yr olds…. I don’t think we thought this through too much.

Since the Safari had just opened the previous weekend and something weren’t yet running it was a pretty quite day the kids had the play ground to themselves, we got a private train ride and only had to share the bus around the animals with 6 other people, you have to love that.

The kids were able to check out the deer and goats in the petting zoo and since it was the beginning of the year they were more then happy to come and see all the kids. One of the goats was actually chewing Allistars fingures and he got more mad when we made it stop then when it was being chewed.

I think my worst thing about the day was that Konnor and Allistar refused to stay with m e but with no one around it wasn’t a big deal as long as i could see them. We had some pizza with our lunch and then headed to the buses for a drive around the safari to see all of the different animals.

The kids loved all the animals but the monkeys were the most fun and the one Giraffe, that came right up to the bus and started licking the window, was a hit as well.

We got a little bit of sun and were a little tired since the nap for the day was 15mins in the car on the ride back home… We were only there for a few hours but it was a great afternoon…..

Now totally off topic but I went and talked to my friend and gave him instructions to start looking for a van for me so hopefully in a week or maybe 2 he will have something… Keeping my fingures crossed.
