A Road Trip

We recently took a road trip to the Midwest. Our first stop to the Texas area to see Aunt Terri and Uncle Denny. We started off in San Antonio where we took a boat ride on the River Walk and , of course, saw the Alamo. We then went back to Terri and Denny's to enjoy some relaxing by the pool.
Of course I LOVE pictures, so we took a ton!Here are a few from our trip:

Drew loved his new set of legos and riding in the truck they came in




Drew with Aunt Terri...they came to be quite good friends!


Drew loved chasing Putty, the cat, around. He never quite got her, but got much closer as the week progressed. She was still always one step ahead. It's amazing, she's the only one I know who is constantly one step ahead of him! :)



Matt and Drew "hanging out" by the pool.



Drew bonding with Uncle Denny.



We went to the pond to feed the ducks. There were a ton of them, so I kept my distance with the camera. It's just something about those beaks!!!!!



We left their house and headed to a Wild Animal Park outside of Fort Worth. When I found those beaks a little intimidating, I had no idea what I was in store for next! The place we went was really neat and Matt REALLY enjoyed it. We stayed in a tent camp and actually drove around feeding wild animals. Some people have no fear, it's amazing!

Here's Drew experiencing the animals at the other side of the car. Yes, my window is shut!!




Here we are at the restaurant we hit at the top of the trail. We were safely away from the animals... I think!!!!



The animals actually put their heads in the window and you give them food. Here is Terri feeding a zebra. It really is amazing and I loved watching everyone stick their hands in the mouths of wild animals!!



This deer, we named it 550 because that was the number in it's ear, was relentless. It fell in love with our car and was with us almost every step of the way. I think Matt kinda wanted to take it home!



Here is a giraffe we saw on our trip. They weren't all that into us, but Matt did get to feed one.




Okay.... as not to be criticized for my apparent lack of adventure, I gave in. I fed a zebra. There were signs all over that said "Zebras bite", but I did it! And here's the proof!!




Here's Drew acting silly at dinner that night:





A kinda funny thing happened the next morning. We were driving out of the park and 3 Giselles were in the road. The came after our truck (which is my dad's, so we were being very cautious) and we backed up the winding road to where our camp was and Terri and Denny were getting ready to leave. We let them go ahead of us, and Terri reached out and pet the "charging" giselles. Matt and I had a good laugh!!!!


We had a GREAT time!!!!!
