We got up and on the road bright and early so that we'd beat the crowds to Fossil Rim Wildlife Park. And we did! The back windows of the van don't open and close, so once we entered the park, we all shared the front seat!
The first customer of the day!
These are called Shag-a-muffin-me-shacks - or European Red Deer - whichever floats your boat. We prefer the first.
The first group of giraffes didn't feel like approaching the cars, so we moved on to lunch and to the petting zoo at the half way mark.
Lunch was nice. A perfect breezy day - almost chilly in the shade. Walter brushed some goats.
And then we made a second attempt at giraffes. They also weren't close to the cars, but we decided to wait them out. We were patient, and Nora whistled to them about 400 times.
More shag-a-muffin-me-shack fun.
This guy may have been the highlight of the visit!
The rhinos and cheetahs are in enclosures, but we still enjoyed seeing them.
I think we counted at least 10 cheetahs. They have a breeding program. Too cool.
The last of the food!
