West Coast Game Safari

It's a bobcat!

It wanted to pounce the girls bouncy skirt.  Maybe tutu's wasn't a wise choice today...

We got to pet a baby bear.  So, so cool.

And a raccoon, a skunk, possum, and ferret.

These animals are SO cool, sister.

Just because.

It doesn't get much sweeter than that.

They fed deer and goats.

The goats came to say hello to Havanna.

Look, mom.  A ferret!

Of all these wild animals, what does Talullah like best?  A baby goat.

I just love her, mom.  Can I have one for Christmas?!

A wallaby.  Can I have one of THESE for Christmas?!

There was a lion behind us.  I swear.

My husband speaks ram, obviously.  The loved him.

This guy was seriously aggressive.

Our highlight of the weekend vacation to Bandon, Oregon was heading to the West Coast Wild Life Safari.  Definitely worth the time and money to get there.  We stayed for nearly three hours, and these little girls would have gladly stayed longer.  The rest of the trip, they begged to go back.  We were able to pet a baby bobcat, cougar, bear, skunk, raccoon, ferret, and possum.  There were heard of deer, goats, rams, llamas, and peacocks that you could feed.  We saw leopards, wallaby's, lions, camels, reindeer, chimpanzees, and a zebra.  Berlyn did get her finger nipped while feeding the deer, but once she finished crying she was brave enough to try again.  There was a moment of disaster when she also dropped her little princess toy into one of the cages, but I saved the day when I wiggled my arm through the wire and fished it out.  She was most upset about the goats going to the bathroom on the ground, telling them "No, no, goats.  Potty chair."  Talullah's eyes grew wide when we came across the caged zebra.  "I've always wanted to see a REAL one, mom"  And although I thought petting a cougar and a baby bear were pretty much the coolest things ever, that hardly phased her.  The baby goat that followed her around took center stage in her mind.  It's all she talked about the rest of the day.  She could care less about any animal after that.  "Can I have one for Christmas?!?!"
