an amazing day

Today was...AMAZING! I got to sleep in this morning and it was great. Me and Lacey got up around 11:30 and we ate breakfast. We [my mom,dad,brother,&lacey] were trying to decide what to do, and we came to the conclusion to drive to Oklahoma and go to the Arbuckle wildlife park. We went through it in our car and it was so much fun. The animals would come up to the window to be fed. It was kind of scary because the camels and zebras would basically charge toward the car to eat. We fed: zebras, donkies, yaks, gazelles, giraffes, antelope, long horns, bulls, emus, ostriches, and a lot of other animals. The scariest thing to feed (for me) was the ostrich, its long neck stretched out and its beak was all the way in the car. When the long horn was being fed on Lacey's side I was looking that way then felt something breathing on me and when I turned around there was a horse/bull/ox thing with its head in the car nose to nose with me. When the giraffes stuck their heads down it stuck its super long tongue in the cup and basically sucked out the food; one giraffe even slobbered on my mom. haha. After that we took a scenic route and had a picnic, stopped by an outlet mall in Gainseville, then made our way home. [sorry this is so long but it was just so amazing]
