A couple of weekends ago we decided to drive to Oklahoma and go to Arbuckle Wilderness. It is only about an hour and a half away. I remember going to this place when I was a kid and I remember VERY clearly NOT liking this place at all....I remember being terrified. But, I thought okay, you are an adult now, it is nothing. Now, I know when we went we were with my dad (Lew) in his jeep with the windows rolled down and he is brave and thinks that we should be too! So, I thought it would be way less scary this time b/c there is nooooo way we would roll the windows down! You are suppose to buy cups of food and drive through the park and roll down the windows and feed these crazy animals, but we were just there to look at them and for noooo reason roll the windows down. I seriously do not know how people drive through here with the windows down and feed these crazy animals and not get seriously injured. But, it turned out to be a good trip! Well, for Avery and Ryan at least. I have not conquered my fear of this place!! Avery kept saying "Mommy are you scared, why are you scared mommy, it's okay mommy they can't get you, look at the pretty animals mommy!" That is when I realized I had better suck it up and pretend like this was the greatest place I had ever been to at least for Avery's sake!!!
These crazy creatures would come right up to your car and stare you down like they would love to eat you!! They even tried eating Ryan's truck! Avery really let them have it for that one! "Noooo Animals, do not eat my daddy's truck!" She was NOT afraid!!!
Look at this.......tell me that is not scary!
I had to beg her to make a scared face! I really think she was a little afraid...she was trying to be brave at first for me, but once I stopped acting like the big chicken that I was she really really enjoyed it!!
I do have to admit, I really really liked the zebras. They were sooooo pretty! Avery was giving them kisses from inside the window and they were putting there mouth on the other side!!! Yuck! She really was impressed by the zebras too and is still talking about how she saw the zebras at the animal place!! 
These giraffes were pretty amazing! The giraffe's at the zoo do no do them justice, I could not believe how long there necks really were....
She loved it there....I am afraid we are going to have to go back again!!!!
