STAYCATION...DAY 2

Day 2 of our staycation we traveled to Fossil Rim Wildlife Park in Glen Rose, Texas. We realized by the time we left the house and I was reading our brochure that we better eat lunch in Glen Rose before making the 3 hour drive thru the park. We decided to stop at Dairy Queen (one of the only fast food places in town) to get a quick bite and the boys played for a little bit before we loaded up again. You would have thought they never get to play on playground equipment the way they were acting.
Connor and Preston riding the dino:)

Connor's expression cracks me up.

After an hour drive from home we arrived...

The zebras are known to nibble on fingers so we were told not to touch them.

This ostrich wanted in our car so bad...the window was barely cracked and the kids were screaming.

All the boys loved feeding the deer.

Doug took so many pics of deer...you would never know he loves hunting:)
The deer had felt on their antlers which Doug taught me falls off during the summer.

The beautiful view as we drove around the park...

Grantsters and Mommy:)

This crazy animal was so friendly. He didn't nibble fingers as we fed him, but sure liked to lick!

Preston trying to get away from it's mouth...

Preston and Connor feeding the same animal. Preston got scared and tried to retreat into the back dash:)

Connor took a pic of Doug and I.

The boys had so much fun. We stopped back at DQ for some ice cream and as soon as their food was gone...well, they were gone:) What a day!
