Another cool attraction near Nonnie and Papa's is Global Wildlife, a preserve with hundreds of various animals who really, really like corn. I'm sure that's not what their website boasts, but it was pretty awesome to head out on our own ATV and feed these fairly friendly beasts straight from our hands.
Allyson, with Rhys, Emma and Declan joined us along with Aunt Jaimee and Nonnie. Here we are in front of our ATV.
Jaimee is feeding Sally, the very stinky camel, while I mentally go to a much safer time and place -- before I ever let my nine month old near a camel.
While most of the animals were seemingly more exotic, there were cattle on the preserve, who liked to lob their ginormous tongues to one side to better allow entry of the corn.
Apparently, Food Inc. had very little impact on Nick, who readily contributed to the corn-fed beef.
Emma's checking out her food stocks, while Nick cozies up with a llama.
The giraffes bypassed the cup feedings and went straight to the bucket at our feet, just because they could.
Nola definitely dug this outing.
WHOA I'm so jealous of all this cool stuff!!!! My kids would FLIP at those animals I love it! That pic of the plantation reminds me of a scene out of "The Patriot" (I liked that movie). Thanks for sharing these, so fun to see.
