We loaded up and headed to Arbuckle Wilderness in Oklahoma on Wednesday. We left around 10:30 and stopped for lunch along the way!
When we got there we parked and went into the gift shop to look around and take a bathroom break before going through the zoo. This was such a neat place! The kids were so excited to see the animals. Madison was looking forward to feeding the zebras.
Waiting in line to get in!
They had their animal food and were patiently waiting :)
We were finally in!!! We had all the windows down and the kids in our laps. They took turns between the two of us! It took us about 1 1/2- 2 hours to get through the park. We saw all kinds of animals and even got to hand feed a few! We had a yak ram our side mirrors, an ostrich try to take our cup of food away and donkeys block the road for a good 20 minutes. It was quiet the adventure and it was fun!
look at this llamas teeth!!
The ostriches cracked us up. They are so curious! This one tried to take off with Trent's cup of food!
He was peeking through our back window :)

Madison got to feed the donkey
Madison said "Look at that camel. He's just chillin' out"
We tried to get him up but no amount of food was going to make him move!
Cooper loved the 'horsies' but they never came close to us!
Madison dumped some food out for this 'yakety-yak' and two seconds later...
His head was in our car! She flew across the car. :) After he got some food his horns hit my side mirror so he decided he'd start ramming it. Madison has talked about this a lot since our trip.
Madison got to feed another donkey!
We fed this thing for a long time.
I tried to get Cooper to lay his hand flat and let it eat from his hand but he kept throwing it at him instead.
We finally got to the ZEBRAS! Madison had waited a LONG time for them.
She got to feed him and even pet him! She was one happy girl!
By the way: Cooper growled at every animal that came to the car. :)
After driving through the park we went back to the gift shop and then out to the walk through zoo. Unfortunately, they didn't have any animals out there. We're not sure where they were. It looked like it was for monkeys, birds etc. The kids had fun running around after being in the car for awhile!
love this!
This was such a fun family trip. We were so glad that we went! The kids had a great time and so did we! We've decided we need to go back at stay at Turner Falls this summer!!
Zack and Melanie invited us over for dinner. On our way back from Oklahoma we stopped at their house to visit and eat!
The kids had fun riding the gator and playing! We ordered pizza and visited until around 7:30. It was definitely a LONG, FUN day!
