One warm January weekend, I found
myself with Saturday free so I made a whirlwind 'out and back' trip to
visit my family. We took Brodie to the Gentry Safari because he gets
such a kick out of that place. He runs around that place like he
owns it. Unless an "Amu" (emu) is nearby, that is!
They are scary.

 |
When you bring Brodie, you apparently need to bring
two loaves of bread. He really likes to feed the animals. |
This huge pig totally snuck up on him, that was funny!
|
| |
|
At first he directed MeMaw to feed them, here he is getting brave
enough to do it himself. |
 |
| |
Thrilled with having petted a kangaroo. They are amazingly
soft. |
| |
|
 |
Beautiful parrot |
| Thrilled with life. This is an all-or-nothing kind
of kid. |
|
| |
|
 |
 |
| They gave us lettuce to feed to the giraffes. Oops - they can't
reach him. |
Here PePaw and MeMaw help Brodie out. They lick you
as they take
the food, so Brodie didn't enjoy that very much. |
| |
|
|
This is one of my favorite pictures that I've ever taken. It
makes me smile!

A terrible picture of a cool animal - a porcupine
|
This bunny had escaped his cage, but in a place like this I wonder if
that is a good thing for his health and safety. |

In the drive-through part of the safari they say to keep
the windows rolled
up, but they didn't mention the moon roof! |
An emu (or amu, as Brodie says it) checking us out
|

 |
 |
| Zebras are so interesting to me, they are really
impressive |
One of many emus who came up close and personal |

 |
 |
| Safari traffic jam |
"Pardon me, are those pretzels I smell?" |
| |
|
Turns out camels are almost as scary as emus are to Brodie |
 |
| |
Dad, just before he got his finger pecked |
| |
|
 |
 |
| This fat tiger makes me feel a little better about my fat
house cats |
The product of an unholy union |
