African Safari

Last Saturday (April 16th) was Dubois Grouse Days.
 They bring the African Safari wild animal display each year.  Emmalee finally got "brave" enough to stand by the zebra.
 How many can say they have petted a lion???  Callum can!
 A Nile Crocodile that was about 14 feet long!!  
 The fun part is that the kids are invited to touch the animals.
 Benjamin had a blast seeing all the animals.

 The kids liked putting their hands in the bear's mouth. 
 Ethan was still home on his semester break.
 Brienna and Emmalee.
 Zane having a staring contest.
 He did really great--and almost won!
 Emmalee was brave enough to touch the small animals.

 Rusty peeking from behind the bear.  This was as close as Emmalee wanted to get to the bear.

 The lighting wasn't the greatest, and Brienna's camera had a glare on the lens.  But here is Callum petting the bear.

The kids had a fun time seeing the animals--and we enjoy it each year!
