Fossil Rim

Yesterday Tomas took the day off and we took Troy, Clay, Marisa, Logan and Olivia to Fossil Rim. It's a "drive your own vehicle through the 9 1⁄2 mile tour" kind of zoo. We told the younger kids that were were going on a safari. It's a family favorite and this time we got to pet and feed the giraffes. The kids were very excited especially Logan and Olivia because they have never done that before (Olivia of course doesn't remember the time at the SF Zoo when they let us feed the giraffes right before closing). We rented a SUV so everyone would have a window and during the park ride part, we laid the seats down and let the bigger kids sit that way and Olivia sat on my window arm rest while I drove and Logan sat on Tomas's lap in the passenger side and helped take pictures (we were only going about 10-15 mph). One of the funniest moments was Troy and Clay letting the Ostrich pick the food out of their hand (it hurts)and dropping food all over the car and out the window. We all drove back to the Angeli and had dinner and swimming. A great end to a great day!
