So my parents had heard about this little Safari ride that they thought we should try. We got there at the end of the day and were excited to be there. After being the only ones on our tram for awhile though, and it looking like they were closing up, we were starting to wonder how fun it would be. (Well, I was, at least). Finally we got started and saw some pretty cool animals including a giraffe VERY up close (see below). I mean I think he wanted to make out with us or something. So the animals were very neat inspite of the fact that we couldn't understand the spanish tour guide mumbling over the microphone. But it was when we got to the very top that the real fun began....
So here we are waiting on our tram for something to happen.
Here's the giraffe looking for some action. Or maybe he wanted to hitch a ride out with us? I don't know, but he was like climbing in the tram. It was pretty funny.
So then we get to the end and they tell us we can get out and walk along a path to see more animals or hike to the top of the mountain to look over the view. We decided to walk the path which ended up taking us up the mountain. At the top no one was telling us about what was going on, but we saw horses and a zip line. So after wandering about a bit we realized they were for us! And better yet, each thing only cost $1!
So we all suited up for the zip line. I know, you're thinking should a pregnant lady really be doing that? Well first of all, look at how it was like 5 feet off the ground. And second, Lance and Herb did it first and only after their confirmation that it was pretty low key, did us women proceed. Plus, at $18 a ride for the Park City zip, how can you pass up $1!
Heather and I also took a ride around the circle with the kids. Again, I know, the pregnant woman riding a horse.... Well, we figured if it was calm enough for Mikey, it was okay for me. And by the way, Mikey loved it!
Here we are on "the path" to see the other animals. It was actually kind of sad because they were in small cages and the monkeys were all tethered to a line. But Mikey still loved them.

All in all, it was a great Safari!
Yes, that is the corner of our house just outside the back door. One of the few drawbacks to having warm, snow-free winters is that yard work must still be done. So after mowing and edging our yard the other day, Lance happened upon this little fella. Actually, he wasn't all that little. Lance says he's not poisonous or anything, but he made us a little nervous. We suspect that he might be living in our bushes on the side of our house that were disturbed with the yard work. Hopefully he decides to take up residence in someone elses bushes.
