Fossil Rim

In the fall Allen and I took Alex to Fossil Rim along with Alex, Laura, and Ruby. The weather was perfect and we had such a good time. Below are some photos and video from our little adventure. As you can see, the animals, especially the ostrich, are not shy. They know you have that bag of food.

The park tells you not to feed the animals by hand but the animals come right on into the window so you sometimes don't have a choice.

Rubicon in the sunshine!

We call these guys 'Alien Heads' because of their eyes

The zebras can be surprisingly aggressive. 

Alex looked like this for the entire trip almost!

Ruby spent most of her time crawling around the floorboard of my car, but I think she had a great time regardless of what she was doing!

Told you those animals weren't shy. One problem with the deer is they come right up to the window.......with their antlers.  Some deer have been yelled at enough that they don't approach, but most could not care less about your paint job!

I laugh every time I watch either one of these videos. The video of the ostrich doesn't do it justice. They are SO big and powerful and their look at you like they hate you. You just feel vulnerable when they come close. And who knew that giraffes have such a slobber problem?!?!?
