Animal Paradise

One day on our vacation, we drove to Springfield, Missouri to visit Animal Paradise. It is one of those parks that you can drive through and feed the animals from your car...needless to say, Jackson was so excited. With the sign in sight, it began to rain and HAIL...yes, I said HAIL, so our plans changed...


Instead, we drove to a nearby carwash for protection from the hail...my new car!!!!


Luckily, there was an El Chico in Springfield (the only Mexican food we had seen thus far) and you know we texacans needed our mexican food fix!


So, after eating the rain stopped and we let poor Jackson who had been in the car so long with no animals, run around the parking lot with Daddy...he was happy again!

A few days later, we went back to the animal park and it was a success! I have to say that this was my most favorite day on our trip....Jackson was ecstatic!



He sat in the second seat with Nana and Grandma to feed the animals while Daddy drove and Mommy took pictures...also...Daddy and Mommy are not too fond of animals licking our hands or pecking food from them! Jackson was so brave...notice his little hand out the window to feed an animal below!

Feeding the ostrich

The entire ride Grandma wanted Jackson to feed this huge camel. We finally got up to him and he completely bypassed the food in Grandma's hand and went straight for her lap where the bag of food was sitting...After poking his eyes, and almost rolling his poor head up in the window, the camel finally got out of the car...You should have heard her screaming! This is all I could capture...Jackson did not like the camel because he made his Grandma scream....:(

It's OK Grandma....I bet my kiss will make you feel better!

Daddy, can I drive?

Kissing Daddy

Thank you for taking me here, Nana....I have had so much fun I am passing out the lovings!
