Safari time

We took a road trip south again to check out the safari. This time we brought Oma and Papa Jim with us. We stayed at a hotel in Eugene on Friday night and then headed to the safari on Saturday. Friday night the boys rode their bikes around at a park and found a fountain to drive through. It was great fun! We also went swimming at the pool (mostly in the hot tub) and the boys opted for spending the night with their grandparents. What a deal!!! The safari itself was fun. Since it was the elephants birthday we were able to celebrate by eating cake with him. Thankfully they had a sheet cake for the people instead of the watermelon/baguette cake George was eating. After getting Nate's face painted we visited the camel and the petting zoo. We also took an excursion out to the giraffe to feed him. By the afternoon we finally had a chance to drive through the park and most of the animals were sleeping in the shade. But we did get to watch as another group fed the bears. Another fun trip!
