What's better than zebra in your car?


 Today we went to Harmony Park Safari in a town about an hour away from us. This was worth the drive, we had the best time!! Once you get there you can buy food (for the animals) and then they let you through the gate (Well.. you drive through the gate, this is all happening in your car!!!) and then as soon as you get in animal surround your car hoping for food. At first we dropped the on the ground, then we hand fed the fawns, deers, ponies, sheep, alpacas, rams, and the zebra. However  we where not hand feeding the emus, bison, ducks, or the bulls. The animals would not stops following us! They also had their heads in our window!! :)  After we went through the Safari we got out and parked our car and went into the reptile room, the monkey room, and the turtle room.

                                                            Deers, Fawns, and Sheep:


This is one of the many sheep!

This adorable white fawn was one of my favorites!!

This fawn will show up a lot (just thought you would like to know)

This fawn looks very similar to a mouse :)
This fawn was saying: "If I give you the cute face will you feed me?"

This is a little fawn and a white tailed deer.


Here is a sheep by our car.

                                                             

                                                           Alpacas, Rams, Ducks, and Ponies:


Theses rams were cute.. but their horns keep hitting our car,
                                                                            But

How can you be mad at  a face like that?

Mom feeding the Pony, I called it "Bed Head" because of it's maine.

I love Alpacas!!!!

One pony would not stop following us around!
How gorgeous!!!!
This one stuck it's head in and helped me rid my lap  of any treats. :)



I loved this pony!!
These ducks keep attacking our door handle!!

                                                      
                                                            Bison, Bulls,  and a Zebra:

Bison snacking.

Bison walking.


If you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
                                      

Baby Bison!!!!!!!!

This is the Hippy Bison. (Hey dude!)

The zebra was amazing!! We hand fed it and we got to pet it!!!

Emu, Reptile, and Turtles: 

HUGE snake.
                          
Iguana 

The evil Emu!!!! Every time it came by we would scream and roll the windows up.

Tiny Turtles

These turtles where HUGE!!

                                                                Favorite photo of the day:

Mom: "Ahhhh Emu!!!! Roll up your window!! Ahhhh!"
Me: "Hold that pose!"

Dig in!

In the last week I have had delicious food, and they looked as good as they tasted.

First for Mothers-day we went to Ruby Tuesday's  where I got fried shrimp. 

I got to pick two sides, The first one was mashed cauliflower. 

And for my other side I ordered a potato. 
                                                                   

                                                                    Moms Plate:



Mom ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with every thing on it.
Mom also had to pick two sides, for her first side she picked string zucchini. 
                            For her other side she ordered french fries, but I forgot to take a picture. :(

                            Yesterday afternoon, we baked homemade bread in our dutch oven:

It was sour dough bread.
and it was amazing! 
                                                   Then for dinner last night we ate lasagna:

although we are not vegetarian we like vegetarian lasagna better.

Gardens

This morning mom and I went to this beautiful garden. It had many flower trails, hidden tree houses, fairy villages, 10-15 fountains, a Garden Cafe, a splash pad, a butterfly and turtle room, and flowers every where you looked. There were so many beautiful flowers that I couldn't resist taking pictures.


This flower was everywhere in many different shades.

I loved this flower, They also had a flower like this but in blue.

This flower wasn't  even fully bloomed yet. 

This was one of the many fountains. it was a stork standing on a turtle  with a fish in it's mouth.

They also had a lot of painted frogs.

They had a hole trail devoted to this flower.

The shadow in this picture is from the tree right above me.

I love the colors in this flower.

This is the State Wildflower of Oklahoma.



This flower was at the end of the flower trail and this loner was all by it's self.
