animals with grammy

last week we headed to Boulder Ridge to check out the animals

Arie LOVED the safari ride and the animals

he did not like feeding them 

[nor did I! ekk]

riding on the safari bus

checking out the giraffe 

feeding the camels

feeding the goats

don't be fooled...he would way rather have grandma do it 

 having fun!

into the bird house

he was very uncertain the first time

tried getting out of the door

but we went back in and he really liked it

even tried to feed the birds

loving it

such a fun day checking out the animals with grammy!

thanks for going with us!
