So I have to take a quick break from the Africa saga to post what's been happening here at home with the grandkids. I just couldn't resist buying this coat/hat ensemble for Claire. She loved trying it on, and screamed when I took it off! It was just too hot in August to wear it any longer!
We took Joel and Silas on a quick trip to "Africa" last Saturday so that they could see some of the sights for themselves! They even got to go "on safari." We had a great time with them at the Niabi Zoo in the quad cities area.
On their safari, they got to drive their own jeep! And they experienced some great animal sightings along the way!
It was a fun day - we also got to visit "Australia," a petting zoo, tropical bird house, plus lots of other adventures that included sightings of panthers, black bears, porcupines, anacondas, pythons, alligators, and many more.
The train ride through the park was an adventure in itself, especially passing through the long, dark tunnel. So . . . if you don't have the time or money right now for the REAL Africa, how about taking in a day at the Niabi Zoo??

roxanne_what a fab tri- and a great safari...did the safari car beak down? If not, no way was it like the REAL Africa :)
weird, don't know why my name got in there? I meant a Fab TRIP!
That is a darling hat and coat for Claire!
What fun to share a teeny bit of Africa with the grandkids. I took three of ours to Brookfield Zoo on Friday, esp. to see the dinosaur exhibit that is there until October 31. We had a great day as well seeing lots of animals.
What precious pictures! The boys had such a fun time at the zoo and I'm glad they experienced a taste of Africa... or at least the animals! :) Thanks for taking them there!
