Here is one of the many trees we saw on the 1/2 mile walk. It was the perfect amount of walking and educational facts for all of us. The only freaky bit was all the signs warning to stay on path and the big scary rattle snack picture at the beginning of the walk. Max was reluctant to go once he saw the sign but we told him all would be well. And it was.

Boys sitting on a petrified log
On the way home we decided to visit the Petrified Forest. It was very interesting. I have seen petrified wood before but to see a whole tree was cool.

Safair West - part 2
Well this is when we were in the bottom of the truck. We had the most amazing luck of coming upon a large group of Uodad Antelope.
They are very skiddish and in this video very hard to see. There were several babies in the group as well.
Safari Ride
This is the beginning of our tour when we were on top of the truck. The view was fantastic.
Safari West - Inside Cabin
The tent cabins have real beds with sheets, a bathroom (shower included), and a spacious porch. We went on a safari tour then had dinner. Afterwards we fed the catfish leftovers. Hoping the more nighttime active beasts were up, we walked down to the smaller animal enclosures and saw the porcupines. On the way back to the cabin we noticed that marshmallows had been put out for the overnight guests to toast in the BBQ pit. We stopped and the boys roasted some marshmallows. Finally off to bed. What an amazing day.
Vacation!?
We accidentally went on a vacation. We did not plan on going anywhere because we did the pool this summer. Somehow we went anyway. it was a blast! John, the kids, John's parents and I went to Safari West. It is a zoo that you can stay in. I mean IN. Your cabins are right next to a large animal enclosure. Our cabin was way up high and we had a wonderful view of catfish lake.
