Bayou Wildlife Park Visit

When we are at the Apt for the weekend, we try to find local attractions that might be fun for the family when they visit.  We, of course, must check it out to determine the "fun factor" before subjecting any of the family.  Sunday afternoon we visited Bayou Wildlife Park.  With Beth's love of animals and since it is only about 10 miles away, we though we would try it. 

It's is not a drive-through zoo, but you ride a tram through pastures populated by various large animals, while carrying food. I though that the combination would provide plenty of photo-ops.








Oh... the anticipation of feeding animals!

More pictures would be redudant as most looked the same, just change it to Beth feeding the Emu, Antelope, [Enter name of large mammal here], etc. 

I'm not saying that pictures of me would have looked much different as face to face time with large animals can be intimidating, but it was fun watching her, and we really enjoy each-other's company.

Some excitement came when the very large Watusi bull stuck his head in the tram and the young man sitting next to Beth tried to climb in her lap.  If you don't know what one looks like, google it!

They had a lot of animals and we really enjoyed the beautiful day that God provided, after the icy week we had been through.


We followed-up the wildlife park with a visit to Froberg Farms for a home-made fried pie and some fresh vegetables to take home.

Our cup does runneth over.
