We decided to make a last minute trip up to Camp Verde and go to Out of Africa. I have been wanting to go for awhile and it just seemed like a good time to go. Justin was off, Ryken and Cy both love the zoo, so I figured they would love this place too. I wanted to go and the weather that day was great. We had a GREAT time there. SO glad we decided to go. It was a great little staycation type of thing too. :)
We got to...
Pet huge lizards and turtles...
See awesome animals like Boom Boom the White Rhino...
Were told we were going to get to feed a giraffe. ( Justin was happy bout it, Cy not so much. :) )
Ryken loved getting to feed his carrot to Pilgrim the giraffe.
Justin too!
The safari tour guide was so good! She was awesome actually. She had one of the giraffes come right in the bus to get a snack of some little cookies. :)
Passed around and held an ostrich egg...
Saw LOTs of Zebra...
Went to the Tiger Splash (which that day there wasn't much splashing) :)
But it was still really cool!
Justin fed the tiger...Ryken chickened out, not surprised about that one. :)
Got to pet a GIANT snake...I was so surprised that Ryken actually wanted to do this.
Saw some pretty White Tigers...
And some kinda scary Hyenas. ( which scared the poo out of Cy when they made the weird noises they make. ) :)
There were LOTS of other cool animals but I decided not to take pics of ALL of them. :) It was so worth the drive up there for us. We may even have to go back again sometime.

Your pictures just convinced me that we NEED to go there!! It looks so fun and you get so close to the animals!! Too bad it is getting so freaking hot!! Your guys are always doing fun stuff:) Maybe that's why your kids are so advanced:) love ya B!!
Ha ha, I just LOL-ed at Jodee's comment about how "advanced" your kids are ;) They really are though, B!
Ok, this place looks AWESOME!!!! I can't believe that giraffe inside of the tour bus! And how close you get to all the animals and how many things you get to pet! I have to take Madden there next time we are in Az! Although he'd probably wuss out and not want to pet ANYTHING! And I'm pretty sure he'd have a heart attack if that giraffe was in our bus like that! These pictures are awesome! What a fun family outing! :)
