Charlie's Birthday Weekend at Global Wildlife

To celebrate Charlie's THIRD birthday this year we decided to go to Global Wildlife.

It's a really cool place that is about 30 minutes north of where we live.

You get to ride on a wagon and purchase food to feed all of the animals.

The boys love going there.
Me and my sweet boy.

Can't believe you are three!
James' mom, Jo Ann, his sister, Tabitha, and his brother's girlfriend's son, Zach, drove down for the weekend!
It was actually a beautiful unseasonably cool August day. The clouds were out so it wasn't hot at all and there was a really strong breeze.

There are so many different kinds of animals here.

Several varieties of deer, camels, giraffes, zebras, kangaroos, etc.

I really don't remember all the species.

Check out their website!
This bad boy was hungry for corn!

He followed us for quite a while till we stopped feeding him...

I bet James has visions of him dancing in his head....
Camels stink.

That's all I have to say about that.

Zach feeding some type of antelope?
My friend, Sara, and her little girl, Evie, came along with us!

So excited to see all the animals!

You are breaking my heart with that face my sweet boy!
He wore his tiger shirt in hopes that he's see a tiger today...

no chance of that happening son!
Poor Miss Evie decided to explore the world of her nasal passages and stick kernels of corn in them!

We attempted to fish them out ourselves but were afraid we'd push them even further up into her nose...

so her and her mommy were escorted off the trail and went to the hospital!

We had to interrupt our tour guide.

"Um, excuse me sir?

Yes, we need to get her off the wagon.

Seems she's shoved kernels of corn up her nose and needs medical attention.

Thanks."

This safari vehicular came up over the hill faster than we could count to 10!

Must happen often....
This guy could put down some corn!

Tabitha was excited to see and feed a real live zebra!

She loves zebras!
Jackson: "That's an awful big mouth you've got there longhorn cow."

Longhorn Cow: "I'll stand here all day if I have to....empty your cup into my mouth, little human."

Grandma and her boys.

Glad they could come with us!
