Since Monday, July 16th was Courtney's birthday, we wanted to do something fun as a family. We enjoy spending as much time together as we can during the summers before school starts back in August! Joe had purchased a Groupon for Circle G Ranch in Strawberry Plains, TN so we thought we would go. It was the funniest experience we've had in a long time! Circle G Ranch is a drive-thru zoo/safari area. You get buckets of food and then drive at your own pace throughout the zoo. The animals are so comfortable with cars and people that they practically GET IN YOUR CAR!!! Joe and Camden were totally fine with this but Carter and Courtney were definitely NOT! To this day, everytime Carter sees an Ostrich or Emu he says, "I DO NOT like those things!". It's too funny!
The Emu slowly making it's way into our car! This was our 1st animal experience on our safari!
The animals did a great job of posing for us!
Camden got so comfortable that she started petting anything that came up to the window...
and then was sad when they would walk away! She would have gone after them if we would have let her!
Every time a new animal came up to the window she would say "Whas tha?". (Translation: What's that?)
Who needs Disney's Animal Kingdom when we have Circle G Ranch?
The herd of zebras all wanted to climb in our car!
This one practially had his head from one side of the car all the way through to the other!
As you can see, Carter got as far away from the animals as he could!
He got brave at the very end and helped Joe feed a camel!
