Petting Farm, Zoo & Safari

Petting Farm, Zoo & Safari all rolled into one place, in one small town in Arkansas. As some of the pictures will show-
Like a petting Farm, we were able to pet pigs, donkeys, cows, turkeys & goats. We also were able to pet kangaroos, monkeys, llamas & camels.
This turkey did not like the small children.
It let me pet it, but followed Parker & Luke around the whole time we were in there.
The sweetest little pig.
They also had a mommy pig and 6 little pink babies she had just had the day before.
They were so cute and sweet.


Also had camel rides.
And pony rides, of course. This is Luke hating the pony ride.Finally accepting that I paid $1 and he was going to ride that pony whether he wanted to or not.

Then we drove through a 5 mile loop, where zebras, all sorts of deer, water buffalo, regular buffalo, camels, llamas, & other animals room free.

We saw lemurs, rhinos, hippos, wolves, bears, lions, tigers, sloths & many more animals. They had just had baby monkeys, and they were so cute. They'd grab onto your finger, or keys or whatever they could reach out and play with.


All in all, It was a neat little place- my animal loving heart loved some of it & didn't approve of other parts. But it was a fun saturday adventure. And as the pictures will show...it was HOT...but at 88 degrees we were grateful it was a little cooler than most of the week had been.
