I just posted a blog update with lots of pictures of our trip to African Lion Safari, last week.  It's amazing the places we are willing to take our grandson, that we never took our own kids, when they were small LOL!  We got very close to lots of large animals and almost too close to a few.  The baboons were entertaining, as they like to dismantle any extra bits on the cars - I'm glad we took the tour bus instead of our new car!   If you like animals and have a minute - take a peek.

Brenda it looks like you all had a fun time. I love to see all animals, so it was great to see your photos. I can see Corson is really getting a big boy now, he's grown so much from the last pictures we saw of him.

Hugs, Jane.   bear_thumb  bear_flower  bear_thumb

Hi Brenda,

Your safari animal picures are really great. My favorites are the lions, all the birds (I love birds) and, of course the baby alpaca was so sweet. Lovely pics of your grandson, also. bear_wub  bear_wub

Thanks Sylvia and Jane!    Jane, Corson is growing like a weed - he's outgrown all his school clothes from last year, and this summer he has learned to ride a two wheeled bike, and  how to swim properly - no more "llittle" boy!
He's into sports and will be playing ice hockey, winter - where does the time go!!!

                                                                             hugs,

                                                                             Brenda

Such fabulous photos, Brenda!!  And Corson is so grown-up!  I'm with you . . . where does the time go?!  Just wanted to emphasize what you said about the apes being rowdy and mischievous around cars that drive through the park.  I've been waiting for the right opportunity to post this pic I found awhile back on the internet and this seems to be it.

Great pictures Brenda !  I remember going there in the late 1970's with my parents.  I'll never forget those baboons.  At the time staff warned people not to drive through if their car had a vinyl exterior roof.  Apparently there was something in the glue that the baboons liked.  Well, the car in front of us went through anyway and those baboons went crazy  bear_wacko .They pulled and stipped that vinyl  right off !!

Sue Ann, that is hilarious (since it's not our car)   :crackup: 

Tammy, they really did gravitate to certain cars.  We saw several baboons waving windshield wipers as if it were the pize of he day LOL!
