West Tennessee Safari

Just about 20 minutes from where my parents live is the West Tennessee Safari. This place has lots of animals out in the pasture that you can drive through and see and then they have an area that's kinda like a petting zoo, where you can feed the animals. We got to feed a giraffe some carrots, a pot-belly pig a bottle, and sheeps and goats their food. It was so much fun!!!

Aubrey and Aunt Cindy holding the baby pot-belly pig - it was only 4 days old.

This albino macaw became my friend -we had a nice conversation where he said "pretty bird" and then asked me to "come here" so he could shake my hand!

Rylan loved listening to the bird talk.

Aubrey and Aunt Cindy peeking through the window of the little cabin on the property. They had it set up like when it was first built - truly amazing.

Trying to get a group picture - but as you can tell the kids were not to interested!

Rylan rocking - he loves to rock - must be his daddy's boy!

Below are several pictures of the animals we got to see in the pasture - lots of different kinds of deer, antelope, emus, ostriches, llamas, bison - it was so amazing to see them so close.




This was an albino peacock - it was absolutely beautiful!
