Labor Day Weekend '09

We spent this weekend in western PA visiting Derek's family. Derek, Dane, Chuck and Mike went to the PSU game on saturday, while Denise and I took Brayden to "Wagon Trails," a nearby "safari" type zoo. We rode on a large wagon and got to see the animals VERY close up personal while feeding them! Here are bunch of pics from that adventure!


Peacocks:



Bock, Bock! Chicken...


Gobble, gobble! This turkey loved Brayden (or was it the other way around?)




Ummm... I feel like I'm being watched...



Here's the "Poppa Chuck" goat:



Long Horned Steer- They got so close to the wagon, it was scary with those horns coming right at you!


Did I mention they got REALLY CLOSE??

Uh.... thats HOT! (Denise feeding the long horns)


Here come the geese:


"Everybody's got a water buffalo, your's is fast, but mine is slow...." (it's a veggie tales song, gimme a break!)


The Zebra: (actually #2 in the pecking order of animals at this park, coming just behind the long horns!)


The Ostrich (the most fun to feed in my opinion- they just pecked right out of the bucket of food! See the video below)


Sunday, Chuck and Denise threw a picnic for Labor day. (TONS of food and TONS of people! So much fun to catch up with everyone!!) Here are my 2 favorite girls named Alexis and Ashley! =)


The love birds... <3>
