HOLLYWILD

Honestly, I don't even know where to start to describe this place........
Carrie told us about this place called "Hollywild" that was on the way home and we thought it would fun to do on the trip back. Apparently, this place has exotic animals that were once in movies and on TV. They have a "safari ride" set up where you ride through in your car (with food you purchase from them) and get an "up close and very personal" view of these animals. I had no idea what was to come. I'm pretty sure I squealed like a 5 year old girl more than one time.....which was not helpful to Carlysle. I guess when Mommy is squealing and trying to crawl into Daddy's lap, then as a 3 year old you would be a little freaked out too! Anyway, it was well worth the money and the extra stop. I laughed so hard my stomach hurt and I almost peed my pants.....which is easy to do after two kids. :)



Me: (head looking to the right) Joey, look at the pretty pond. Ahhh that's pretty, isnt....... (turning head). Oh wow.......

Wow......that is close. (That is Carrie and Lucas in front of us).

And at this point, I was howling with laughter, unaware I was about to be accosted.

Ummmm.......So hello there little guy.....I mean what do you say?

Seriously.....

Ok Joey, I think this thing wants to make out with me.

Aren't we a cute couple though? Really, I look all smiley but you can look closer and tell I'm freaking out and I think I was screaming through my smile "hurry up and take the picture, he thinks we're really going out"!

Oh if you could only see Carlysle's face or the slobber that was all over me, the window and the car seat.

Oh deer.....ok good I like deer.

This was one freaky looking bird. I was not a fan at all. I kept having flashes of some blooper show where the person is getting pecked by an ostrich and I wanted no part of that. I rolled the window up on him.....but that didn't stop him. Relentless bird.

The zebra was really digging Joey. I loved it. Payback for the Yak that assaulted me.

Joey: Ok, I fed you. You can leave now. Seriously, we're done here. Really. Les, how do I get it's head out of my window?

We couldn't get any pictures of Carlysle near the animals. She mostly just cried and screamed "don't let it slobber on me". Oops, guess I overreacted about the slobber.

"Uh, whatcha got left in there?"

Creepy Bird.
