Topsey, Texas

So.... normally places that have signs like this at their entrance make you think twice about letting your two small children wander into............ yeah, but not us wild and crazy women. (What can I say, Lori's hubby was in Iraq and mine was a safe distance away in Alabama, so we let our hair down a little! Just kidding guys! We behaved every minute of the day! Just don't hook us up to a polygraph machine! Actually, had A.R. and Luke been there we would have gotten into WAY MORE TROUBLE! ) So......Were we going to squeal like girls? Yep! Were the animals thinking that a bunch of crazy people had entered the park? YEP! But we were having the time of our lives? Well, that's a YEP too! I've got the video's to prove it but still can't figure out how to make the sound work on my flip camera once they are uploaded. I'm working on it! Technology is still something that gets me from time to time. I could go into details here but I'll spare you.
Exit your car and you could be maimed for life. (Either that or licked to death!)
Wow! That's a lot of warnings! Maybe we shouldn't check this place out! Nah! So.....Not only do we go in but we BUY FOOD!!!! and LOTS OF IT TOO!!!!! Let's see if we can be attacked by every safari animal known to man. Yeah! That sounds like fun! The kids should just love this!
This is were we buy the food or buy the human bait. Whichever you prefer to call it.
OH MY! That's some large nostrils smelling something really funky! O.K. who forgot to take their bath today? I know Jackson's was clean because Libbi saw to it, being the professional hair washer that she is and all. And wait a minute. Lori's got my window on lock and I can't roll it back up. Oh, she thinks this is so... funny!
And then the horses and donkeys snort some good ole snot onto Lori and Libbi! Oh yeah, the fun is just beginning!
And this is the Zebra that bit Libbi's finger and we had to do first aid in the middle of the Texas DESERT! Does TEXAS have a desert? Anyways, we had to doctor a good ole blood blister and calm a harassed child.
Yeah! You know you're the one. You'd better look sorry! Getting a childs finger mixed up as Zebra Snacks. Libbi's finger was marked: CHILD'S FINGER! Zebra snacks are marked: ZEBRA SNACKS! Let's try and remember this guys!
And this is the camel that ran like no camel I've ever seen when he saw us aproaching with our windows down. This guy scared us to death. We rolled up our window when this guy took off like the 40 yard dash towards our car. Lori chunked him some food out her window over the car to let him know we loved him. We love him and thought he was great but we loved him from a DISTANCE! HE WAS THE SIZE OF OUR SUV! Libbi was taking no chances on her finger!

So, I hear you've got some snacks in your car that you've been passing out? Don't try to act like you don't because I can smell them! Either that or whoever it is that forgot to bath!
Yeah, I'M LOOKING AT YOU! You just KEEP ON MOVING THAT SUV!
And what do we see?
More donkeys that think Libbi's fingers taste GREAT!

Hey, WERE DOWN HERE! WERE DOWN HERE!

O.K. this guy like me A LOT! He followed us for a mile at least. We couldn't shake him!
The animals were just incredible and they just roamed EVERYWHERE. Disney's Animal Kingdom has NOTHING on this place. It was INCREDIBLE and AMAZING!
Yep, my friend's back.
and we have a following....
and Jackson thinks this is really COOL......

Libbi, you are just so TASTY!
This guy has the pose down, man!
What a sweet guy!
Hey, where'd she go?
So, you're thinking you want to go home with us, huh?

And the kids are getting a little worried and one mama too! (especially when Lori proceeds to throw food at the ostrich to get him to leave us alone and she misses the window and HITS MY LAP! Yeah, you heard me....MY LAP! Wow. What fun we had!
We're still ALIVE!
Breaking the flip out! This guy is so impressed with my technology skills.
Hey, he's back for any food he missed.............IN MY LAP! Oh, Lori thinks this is so funny!
And this is the end of our little adventure. These pictures should just prove to you that a vacation with Lori and Libbi pretty much anywhere is just STINKIN AWESOME!
