Animal Safari - Mt Ulla Style

So this is the last batch of our Charlotte adventure. We had all heard great things about the Lazy 5 Animal Safari and since Nick loves animals we figured we'd give it a shot. There was a large petting zoo area and then a drive through part. We took Nick out of his car seat and let him sit up front with us. He loved "driving".

The really cool thing about this animal safari is that they let you feed the animals from your car.

The animals definitely love to get up close and personal...

Nick loved to look at the baby giraffe, he was totally intrigued.

And apparently boys of all ages love to stare at the giraffe!

See the stick in Nick's hand? Um yeah he pulled that out of the llama's fur.... I wonder how long that had been in there?!

Okay so back to the car - gotta love the two cameras, I'll eventually get the order thing down.
Okay so, here comes the funny story. See the buffalo outside of the car? Yeah pay attention.
So what the picture doesn't do justice is that the buffalo is like halfway in the car trying to get to the feed bucket. He was DIRTY and SMELLY and I seriously thought that he was going to lick me. What you can't see in this picture is me freaking out. Nick was totally fine with the dirty, smelly creature that close to him and quietly sat on my lap.

This last little creature was not nearly as big and smelly as the buffalo. Needless to say, the car got a nice good cleaning when we got back!
