Arbuckle Wilderness

Our second attempt to go to Arbuckle Wilderness was successful. We got up Friday morning and drove up there for the day. The weather was great. Cloudy and not too warm. We first drove through the drive through park. There are all kinds of animals out to eat. Camels, donkeys, buffalo, giraffes, goats, different kinds of deer, zebras, rhinos, llamas, emus, ostriches, wolves and more. The majority of the animals had babies and they were all so cute! After going through the park, we went in to walk through the little park. There are porcupines, different types of birds, geese walking around, lemurs, snakes, etc. They also have go-carts, paddle boats, and other things for people to do. We picked up a souvenir camel for Holland. She loves it!Watch out for the camels! This one stole my whole cup of food. He bit on to the cup and fought me for a second and walked off with the whole cup of food. The next camel wasn't so lucky. I fought the next one with both hands and he only tore my cup, but I still had my food left.
Leah 1 - Camels 1.I don't know which one looked more like a deer in the headlights! LOL
The ostriches will come running to you and even chase your car as you drive on. Kirk got a little weirded out by the ostriches and would roll our windows up. :)Even the turtles come out to eat! LOL

After having a great time at Arbuckle Wilderness, we went to eat in Ardmore, and then headed home. It was a great day and we look forward to going back.
