Animal Land

The day after Grandma Nanette arrived in NY for her visit we took the kids to the Animal Land Park in Gloversville, NY for the first time. We had so much fun!!! It was also freezing!! Grandma ended up buying Kaylie and Daniel both sweatshirts to wear while we were there, and this was the last week of June. So here are a few pictures from that outing.

Daniel and Kaylie feeding the goats when we first got there.

Me feeding a giraffe. I loved it!! Kaylie wasn't so sure about sticking her hand up there to feed it.

Kaylie and I enjoying the giraffe.

Daniel and Kaylie sitting on a tortoise statue. Kaylie is wearing Grandma's long sleeve shirt she brought to protect her from the sun to try and get her warmed up and before Grandma went and bought sweatshirts.

One of the camels that followed us on our safari ride. They certainly were very demanding when it came to their food. One of the camels was named Liver Lips and she had the biggest, purpliest lips I have ever seen. Also during this ride we got to see two ostrich nests with eggs in them. That was really cool.

Kaylie standing 3 feet tall.

Daniel at almost 4 feet.

These two videos are of the kids feeding the black bears. All over the park they had set ups likes these for the visitors to be able to feed all and any of the animals. We thought this was such an amazing idea. It made it possible to feed bears, zebras, deer, monkeys, and many other animals.

There were two bears in this exhibited but one of the bears was hogging all of the fruit loops, and the other one was pacing up and down wanting its turn.
