This had been on our list of pandemic-safe potential activities for a while. Abby had most of her Saturday afternoon blocked off for the FTC kick-off, and we figured it might be a good day for the rest of us to get out of the house to quiet a quiet space and more bandwidth for her. It's been a few years and we did not know if Benji would still enjoy the safari, but if anything it was our best visit ever (last time we visited, Benji was still a little shy about feeding the animals). There was lot of giggling and it was a few hours well spent:
 |
There was a baby giraffe romping in this field, you can just see her behind the first post from the left
|
 |
From a distance, Kevin thought there was a bird sitting on this guy's face
|
 |
Baby llamas. At various points, we saw them nursing from their mama llamas
|
 |
This is how we lost our first feed bucket. This guy knew what he was doing, too. He grabbed right on to the bucket and pulled it out of Benji's hands. Afterwards, we noticed he had a mound of others at his feet.
|
 |
Benji wanted to stop feeding the llamas and save our second bucket for the later animals, but that did not stop them from peeking in our van windows hoping for a snack.
|
 |
Benji really liked these small antlered deer. He spent the most time and feed on them
|
 |
We were stuck at this spot for a while when the animal surrounded us
|
 |
This guy was very curious and kept poking his head in the windows while we waited
|
 |
More little deer (Benji had a real soft spot for them)
|
 |
This guy didn't come to the car, but we were stopped near him for a while and got to hear him let off an awesome bellow
|
 |
Benji was hesitant to feed ostriches at first (he remembered losing a bucket to their vigorous pecking on an earlier visit), but we encouraged him to try and then he was laughing up a storm
|
 |
This guy looked massive, but was very gentle

| He used the last of the food on the deer, of course |
