Tennessee Safari Park

You have got to go if you haven't already done so.  A few weeks ago we took a day trip over to Alamo, TN to the Tennessee Safari Park.  It was a blast!  We all had a lot of fun.  The drive thru part was the best part in my opinion although the kids did have fun feeding the goats and seeing the Ostrich eggs and reptiles in the walk thru "petting zoo" part.  For the drive thru portion you get to drive a 2.5 mile path that winds throughout their property and through the entire path animals come (run) to your car to eat out of the buckets (that you bought there with animal food in it).  The animals are forceful and strong so most of the time the kids observed more than they fed them but they still had a blast.  Caden fed some of the animals and Avery Lynn liked the pigs the best because she could just throw handfuls of food out the window for them.  We learned quick that you roll up the windows FAST when the ostriches start heading your way.  Those birds are Fast and Greedy, and not very nice.  We chose to not feed them.  We much preferred the deer and other "deer like" animals.  We got some pictures of animals we saw.  Be warned if you go that your car will be dirty and there will be animal feed ALL over the inside of it when you leave so be prepared to clean & vacuum your car when you get home.  But it was totally worth it.  Before we could even make it back home the kids were asking when we could go again.

We tried to be nice and feed the ostriches at first but we ended up stopping.
