Amnals

Emmy is VERY in to "Amnals" right now. VERY. so we decided while we were down in Sienna Plantation to go a little further to Alvin to a widlife refuge. We groaned at the 16 dollar entrance fee, but within one minute we were giggling like two year olds (Blake and I were that is, because we were busy having fun. Emmy on the other hand was screaming because SHE wanted to do what we were doing) . We were greeted by these gigantic horned (seriously, do you see their horns) deer-things who attached our car and tried to get in to eat the food. Most places make you drive through in your car, but this place actually has a tramtruck that they drive you around in. It's a lot more fun when you're not afraid the animals going to stick their giant horn through the top of the roof of your car and take your rearview mirror our with it.

Ok, I hear you groaning that I'm about to post MORE pictures of goats (WHY are there always goats) get ready to be impressed...

This gigantic, hairy eared water buffalo ate out of my hand!Blake got in some camel action...

WHOA camel....

The tour last about 40 mintues and it's WAY more than goats and cows. There were giraffes, a rhino, lemurs.They actually have 10 or so very endagered animals on the site (the hairy eared water buffalo is one of them. )It was so neat having the animals come up to you. You can't get water buffalo spit on your hand at the zoo.

Emmy spent the entire trip screaming at the top of her lungs "AMNALS! AMNALS! AMNALS!", "eeeeeeeeeeeee-mu", "Moos! Moos!" throwing the food out of the train onto the ground (she didn't really get the concept of the animals EATING the food) and THEN and ostrich came over...
Forget it.. I was all over. We spent the rest of the trip ignoring the endagered species and looking for the ostriches. "Os-ritch EAT! os-ritch EAT!!!!!!" who knew...After the train ride, Emmy took her first ever Pony ride on a horsenamed Elizabeth. She rode all by herself around the ring and her mouth was WIDE open the entire time (this is Vacek for REALLY fun).

We will definetly back to this place!
