Bayou Wildlife Park

This week starts our school's Spring Break. We started the week with a trip to Bayou Wildlife Park in Alvin, TX. It was a little chilly, especially with the wind, but it was so fun! I've never experienced anything like it! We bought a couple buckets of food to feed the animals and as we were entering the park, there were all sorts of deer and llamas attacking our car and wouldnt let us pass until we fed them some food. It was hilarious! Even when we drove a few feet ahead, they just followed us with their head poked in our car. Preston and Alexa thought it was hilarious! When we finally passed the "gate keepers" who would only let us pass if we fed them, we parked and were walking up to the building they had, a deer just came up to us, looking for some food. So Preston and Pat took a food bucket we had, and he just started munching away. Preston loved it! We then hopped on one of the trams for a tour of the park and it took us though the whole thing showing us all sorts of animals from buffalo, zebras, giraffes, llamas, ostriches, alligators and more. Some of the animals came up to the tram looking for food. After the tram ride, we went into the petting zoo where there were baby goat, some pigs, and a few other animals. Lex and Pres liked this part too! Oh and Alexa got to ride a horse, which she loved! It was such a fun day and a good way to start the break!

Such beautiful creatures!! I Love zebras!

It's hard to see but sitting next to the ladder, there were 2 ringed tail lemurs from Madagascar.
