Mom, Melody, and I took the littles to Fossil Rim in Glen Rose Tuesday. It was so worth the drive. The weather was foreboding: dark clouds swirling, cool air, and looked like it would rain. We loaded in the SUV with baby C who is almost 5 months, Kylie-2, Aspen-3, and Hudson 4! Whew, what a crew. There was no crowd--we apparently were the only nuts coming to an outdoor safari on day it may storm. And, it was reasonable because Tuesdays are discount day. We packed food for lunch. The animals are roaming in a very huge and spread out African Savannah type environment. They walk up to your car expecting a special hand out. We howled with laughter at the children. They were hysterical and Mom, Melody, and I couldn't see from laughing/crying at their responses to the animals and each other. A few quotes from the tots: "Run over it!" in response to the pesky ostrich who seemed to want to peck our eyes out, "Why him eat him bobo?" in response to seeing a baby deer(or some strange name like audua) nursing his momma, and "turn your window up"...translation roll up your window...in response, once again, to the terrifying ostrich! Here is Hudson's hand feeding the "raffe."
I sat in the back seat and held baby C most the time and picked cradle cap out of his little fro. I'm sick like that: pop zits, floss teeth, scratch cradle cap off....I'm your crazy nurse friend!
Anyways, back to the subject matter. If you have a nice day and don't mind a drive, take the kids to Fossil Rim, it is really cool.
