Out of Africa





Matthew and Caden feeding the giraffe. Ben and Michelle invited us to go to "Out of Africa" in Camp Verde. It was unlike any zoo I have ever been to. We got to go in and pet the animals. It was so much fun to see Sadie get excited about the animals. She knows them from her books but she got to see them live. She pet the snakes, turtles, giraffe and some type of big lizard. We went to a tiger show where we watched the tigers run, jump and play. The kids had a great time. It really is a cool zoo. We got to ride an old open bus around to see and feed the giraffe. We also saw a 4500 pound rino named boom boom. The kids were so excited because we yelled so loud that he turned around to look at us and actually stood up. Sadie still talks about Boom Boom. Thanks Ben and Michelle, we had a great time. Oh ya, you probably noticed Matthew wearing the same outfit to both zoo's. Well, he got that shirt from Grandma Rebers house and absolutely loves it. He calls it his zoo shirt. So when he found out we were going to the zoo he had to wear his zoo shirt. I love how he gets excited about the littlest things!

Looks really fun, I wish we were there with you. I remember when you took Greg to the zoo. That's probably the only time he went, we will have to get some family time with him before he leaves on his mission!!!
