Spring Break Trip

Spring break started out a little rough, full of doctors appointments, a tetanus shot and another shot of cortisone in my foot. Ouch!! Finally, on Thursday we were off on a camping trip to Camp Verde with my sister and my parents, hoping for some cooler weather and some relaxation. Well, the first day wasn't very cool but I was able to turn the a/c on in the trailer and get a nap in. Dad and Bobby went on a jeep ride on Friday. (See Bobby's blog for pics on this excursion.) On Saturday, Chris, Bill, Stephanie, Rod, Kyle and Ashley joined us for a day at the Out of Africa Wildlife Park. This is the park that Kyle and Ashley did their project on.
First, we boarded the bus for the Serengeti Safari Tour where we came up close to the animals.



Bobby was a little too friendly with one of the giraffes!




Then we were off to the snake show. I hate snakes so I didn't watch this one. Look at my children! Did I mention I don't like snakes? Scarey!!



At this park, you can get really close to the animals. This tiger walked up to the fence, turned around, lifted his tail and sprayed a little boy that was standing by the fence. Yuk!!
It's off to the tiger splash!



and then the bear show.

Everyone then came back to the campground for dinner and to celebrate Stephanie's birthday. Some enjoyed a nap in the shade before heading back home. Rod didn't even know when we all went in and left him outside.

This was Miley's first camping trip and she did really good but boy was she dirty! I gave her a bath when we got home and she has been sleeping all afternoon on her pink pillow!
