Our Day at Fossil Rim Wildlife Center

I love going to Fossil Rim. We usually try to go once a year, but it had been about two years since we had been this time. It was Mckenzee's first trip and she had so much fun. She said "giraffe" We were so proud! We bought her a little stuffed giraffe to take home. That's a little bit of a funny story in itself. We picked out two $5 giraffes that we thought were cute and her size and we held them out and said, "Mckenzee which giraffe do you want?" She turned and ran over to a giraffe that was about as tall as she was and standing on it's own and picked it up and hugged it. This scenario happened more than once. Me, being the sucker that I am, would have caved right there and bought it, but Daddy knew better and we got her a little one. It is much more her size and will fit in her toy box. It was also easily hugged in her car seat on the car ride home.
Many of the animals will eat out of your hands if you are brave enough to let them do so. Chris is brave, but I start squealing like a little girl and just want to throw the food. The weather was perfect for driving with your windows down and walking around the children's animal corral. Okay, fun stuff, now on to the pictures and videos. Hope you enjoy.

Why have I not heard of this place? Mia would go absolutely nuts over this place and Jules would have a coronary. Looks like y'all had so much fun. Levi would have caved and got the big giraffe...funny!

Glad you guys got out and enjoyed each other, the nice weather, and God's beautiful yet stinky animals.

Kenzee is a cutee!
