On Satuday we took the kids to Lake Tobias. We boarded the safari tour as soon as we got there. They got to feed lots of wild animals - bison, fallow deer, emu, alpaca and elk. . . .and lots more I can't remember.
The elk came right into the bus and the kids fed her some popcorn and ears of corn.
The girls loved the guinea pigs in the petting zoo section. They wanted to take one home. Then they told me "mommy said we can have one when we're 9." Hmmmm, I bet Mommy thought they would forget that one! They were pretty cute, but also pretty smelly. 
They really enjoyed the reptile show. David's favorite animal was the alligator. Ryan loved the goats and the girls loved the guinea pigs. 
I was happy to see how much they loved the reptiles. We're planning a reptile birthday party for both boys in the fall. 
After dinner Paul set up the tent in the family room. He set it up so they could lay in their sleeping bags inside the tent and watch a movie on the tv. We thought that would work out perfectly. They had other ideas. The jumped around, wrestled and giggled for over an hour. At 10 p.m. David came out and asked if he could go upstairs and go to bed. Kelsey followed him upstairs and then we just moved all the kids to the bedrooms and they fell right to sleep, which worked out better. They were all able to sleep in Sunday morning.
