We went to Fossil Rim a few weeks ago to check out some wildlife. Ethan loved it. Caleb was bored with it. It was pretty cool but I was hoping for some more exciting animals besides every species of deer you could imagine. We drove in the park for about an hour then ate lunch and hit the gift shop, then drove the remaining hour. The giraffe was definitely the most excitement of the day!
The usual picture. Ethan and I smiling while Caleb tries to escape.
Ethan loved throwing the food out the window. We couldn't hand feed any animal except for the giraffe (those were the rules) although I don't think the deer were too scary to feed.
We told Ethan these were reindeer. I think he was suprised that they weren't living in the snow.
Caleb looked out the window every now and then. He was pretty content just to sit there but I felt guilty so I let him out for a while so he could see better.
Can you tell how enthralled he was in the wildlife? I think he was teaching himself how to twiddle his thumbs.
Then he had to check out all the buttons in the car.
This picture doesn't do this hill justice. It was very steep! There were a couple of these. It reminded me of driving "the road to Hana" in Maui.
Yep, the window was closed on the zebras...they like to bite.
This was the halfway stop. There was a restaurant and a little gift shop. Would've been a cute picture if Ethan's eyes were open but it was so bright! Check out that scenery...beautiful.
Look at that giraffe's neck! His tongue stretched all the way up to the branches to pull off the leaves. We had to coherce him to come to the car.
That's Ethan's hand touching him. He was a little scared but he saw me feeding Mr. Giraffe and decided that he wouldn't bite. So cool!
Random weird deer type animals.
"I am so over this trip." That school bus is what he picked out from the gift shop. Had nothing to do with animals but it was only $3 and kept him entertained!
Another random pointy horned deer type animal.
These dinosaurs were at the entrance of the park. There is a place you can go down the street that has these. I think it was called Dino Land or something. We had to get a blanket out of the car to put on him because the surface was so hot! We may have to check out Dino Land another time.
Those things were huge! Ethan loved them.
