I had a wonderful Mother's Day! It is still hard to believe that I am someone's mother - I don't feel old enough to be a mother! Anyway, we had a nice day. Last year, I had Chris take some pictures of Camryn and I together and I asked him to do the same this year. I think it will be nice to have a collection of pictures from Mother's Day once she is grown and gone. It was a little more challenging this year because she didn't really want to cooperate. All she wanted to do was to chase the birds in the park. Apparently, chasing birds is much more fun than posing with mommy. But, we managed to get a few decent pictures. I always have an idea of the perfect picture in my mind, but it rarely turns into reality. But, we had fun trying!
After our photo shoot, we decided to do a fun family activity before the rain was supposed to start. We decided to go to Lake Tobias, which is a wildlife park not far from Harrisburg. It was an interesting trip, but we had fun. It is a park with a random assortment of animals like zebras, lions, bears, tigers, ostriches, peacocks, capybaras, monkeys, etc...you get the picture. They also have a petting zoo (she only wanted to chase the goats and not touch them) and a safari ride. The safari ride was a huge hit! The best part of the whole thing for her was that she got to ride on a bus - well, 1/2 of a bus. They have old school buses and they cut the roofs off. She was so excited to be on a bus! The ride was very cool. Everyone on the bus had food to feed to the animals and the animals would come right up to the bus. It was crazy! We had buffalo, elk, deer, llamas, Texas longhorns, emus, rheas (a bird that Camryn really liked), yaks, and zedonks (my favorite - a cross between a zebra and a donkey) so close that we could touch them. The only bad part of our safari tour was the wind - it was really windy and cold. But, it didn't spoil our fun!!! I will try to post our other pictures soon - I have been kind of slacking on that lately. Sorry!
