It's a jungle out there!

So we decided to brave a little piece of Virginia wilderness known as the Wild Safari on Monday...it was an absolute riot!!! I was in tears (from laughing so hard) from the moment we arrived 'til the moment of departure. What a blast! I don't think this little clip can do justice to the "wild animals" we encountered, but hopefully you'll get a small taste of our experience. Enjoy!

**Please note that I had a terrible cold, hence the raspy voice.**

You can't see the part where the animal (I'm not sure which one) bellies up to the trough and trys to yank the bucket right out of my hands!!! Then, I'm not positive, but I swear I saw him lick his chops at me, which is why I decided to save my own neck and toss the bucket out the window. Poor Claire. She was such a good sport.

The next clip gives you a feel for how clever and sneaky the animals were...you snooze, you lose!

You can't really hear Nate's scream, but scream he did when he was caught off guard by those terrible "raptor" birds. I'm not sure what their real names are, but they seemed like the sort of bird that might have been used in the filming of Jurassic Park. Sneaky little things.

It was such a great trip! We'll post our apple orchard trip pics soon.
