We took a little overnight trip to Fossil Rim in Glen Rose Texas last night, at least partially as an anniversary trip for Nathan and I (which happens to be today). We had such a fun time! This was one of our little campground friends (the first LIVE armadillo we have ever seen in Texas).
Here was another of our campground friends, an addax. They were fearless of cars and people and would come right up to your window like you had something to give them.
Gabe slept in a "big boy" bed for the first time! Nathan and I had to share an uncomfortable twin bed and we were both awake half the night. Fun, fun.
This was our cabin/tent from the outside. Small, but it had air-conditioning and a full bathroom inside. It was more than a lot of people in the world have!
The view from our tent.
On the scenic drive. This takes a couple hours to get through and as you will see, there are multiple animals that you can see and touch. This was our friend the ostrich. They are quite aggressive.
These emus were even more aggressive! And crazy looking! Gabe said he did not want to see anymore of these.
More of the addax.
One of the giraffe's at the car in front of us.
Now coming toward us looking for more food.
Eating out of Nathan's hand.
Eating our of Gabe's hand (with my hand underneath - he needed a little reassurance that the giraffe wasn't going to take off his hand)
Gabe at the overlook cafe waiting for lunch with his new cheetah friend.
CLOSE up to a zebra.
They were aggressive too! Nathan was quite literally pushing him out of our car at this point. We had one zebra who planted himself RIGHT in front of our car and a zebra on both sides of our vehicle trying to stick there noses in a car. One of them actually had his mouth on the inside of the vehicle and left slobber.
Another giraffe
Another ostrich - these guys cracked us up!
