FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND

We had a very busy weekend. We decided to take the children to Park Safari on Saturday. We all had a really fun time.
Park Safari is a place where you can really get close to the animals. Sarah and Mitchell both wanted to take my new car, since you drive through one part, and the animals come right to the car. They thought it would be really fun to have the animals that close, but...I stuck my ground (since I had already been there) and we took the van. Thank goodness is alllll I can say!!!! They slobbered...they had horns and rubbed against the van...and at least with the van we had a place to hide...lol Take a look at the pictures...lol

I took everyone out for brunch on Sunday to celebrate Father's Day. We went to Portavino. VERY yummy!! There is anything and everything you could ever imagine to eat. The kids loved the chocolate fountain;)
After we had brunch, we were invited to Mitchell's Aunts for a BBQ...we looked like we could of been rolled out of her place...hehhee

Mitchell and Nick...having a father/son moment.
It was nice to celebrate as a family.

Even my little birdie ate ALOT...lol We look like we are both ready for a nap...hehehe

PARK SAFARI PICTURES
Sarah loves the camera her Nana bought her for Christmas..she took most of these pictures. The Bears practically waved at us..they were just sooo cute.

The tigers and lions were so pretty...they have a tunnel that is made of plexi-glass and the lions sit on them...you are able to touch and see just how big their paws are compared to your hands.


I was making Sarah laugh that this statue had me by the leg. Mitchell couldn't resist the picture.

As you can see the animals come right to your car. It doesn't help when Nick kept making them come to my side...especially the big --slobbering ones!! lol

The children couldn't stop laughing..and the screams from the back seat...it was so much fun!

My two favorite animals of alll:))))
The animals can get pretty aggressive though...they knew we had food..and wouldn't let us drive on until most of it was gone.
