Out of Africa

There was a Groupon deal for Out of Africa a couple of months ago. We bought it, and so did Richie and Krystal, so before they had to head back to Pittsburgh, we went together. It was a hot day, but it was still so fun.

The first thing we did when we got there was watch the Tiger Splash show. Here are Derick and Lincoln right before the show with one of the tigers.
It was a fun show and it was cool to watch the tigers jump in the water and chase the trainers to get their silly toys.
After the show.
We then walked around to look at some of the animals. 
I loved the white tigers! This picture shows one of the white tigers, with a lioness. I guess these two are best buddies. How funny is that!?!
Bears.
This rhino weighs like 5,000 pounds! He was HUGE.
Our last event of the day (and my personal favorite) was the safari ride. We all hopped on a bus, and got to get up close to a bunch of the animals! As we got on the bus, they handed us each a carrot stick and we got to feed them to the giraffe! It was SO fun to watch Lincoln do that.
 We also got to see a camel, zebras, several types of antelope, cattle and the ostrich.

How fun! And man oh man...that pic of you and Lincoln after the giraffes- he looks like a tiny Derick! I even showed it to Brenden and he totally agreed. I love it when little boys look like a small version of their dads. Too cute!
