Day Three - Safari Park

Today's adventure brought us to Natural Bridge VA to the drive through Safari Park. We wanted to go last year, but never made it so this year it was a definite stop on our list.

As we made it through the main gate, we put the top down on the car and got our buckets of feed ready to give to the animals. The entrance into the park is here on the right and the animals just wait for the cars. It was crazy. We just didn't believe they would wait like that. So, we slowly made our way through the entrance and the animals were definitely looking for their food.

We had to slowly make our way towards the animals since all through the park it seemed like they were trained to walk in front of the car, make you stop and then they would mosey on over to the side for their food. Some of the animals that we saw were zebras, camels, ostriches, bison, deer, pigs, lamas, alpacas and we think reindeer in the safari drive through area. Here are some of our photos-

After the drive through safari there is a little walk through zoo with more exotic animals or the ones that should be behind a cage. These are some of the animals we encountered walking around-

Lots of goats around and they were very voice stress

I would say if you ever are in the area to see the drive through safari, definitely stop by. We went early in the day before it go too hot so the animals were still active and hungry since many cars hadn't gone through yet. It was a blast.

After spending most of the day at the safari, it was time to head back to the hotel and take a dip in the pool. It was great since we had the whole pool and area to ourselves. I can't wait to do it again tomorrow.

After supper, it was time for the boys to show off their bowling skills (we were suppost to go to the go-carts, but they were closed on Mondays and I didn't have socks on since I had sandals, so I was the cheerleader). But it was fun watching them play and they had fun too.
