Summer travels

We meandered our way across the state for a little road trip and stopped in Tupelo for the Buffalo Park (and to visit with our Godchild + fam there). This was a pretty neat little destination. Roaming buffalos, camel, zebras, donkeys, horses, yaks, etc., petting zoo with goats and ponies, small animal exhibits including alligators, lions, snakes, birds, black bear, and our favorite part ...the giraffes that we got to feed!






We were close enough to feed the buffalo but they were more skittish of us so we just dropped some food in the trough and watched them come up close.




This was Joe the camel that nipped at the lady behind us on the trolley tour. She was feeding him but he decided that he wanted the bag in her lap. Good thing he didn't want the camera in Daniel's lap!






This was Tall Boy. He and Patches (his girlfriend) would eat right out of your hand. Pretty neat to be eyeball to eyeball with this amazing creature.



Tall Boy's tongue was so rough and snake like that it really just fascinated us!
