Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch

Today we ventured an hour north of the DFW area to the Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch in Pilot Point, Texas. They rescue animals from unhealthy situations and use the admission fee to care for the them. We weren't sure what to expect but we were ready to leave the city for a day out! We loaded into the Webb's mini-van, headed to McDonald's, ate breakfast, and got on the road. Once there we met Bree and her family. The first thing on the agenda:
the tram ride!

Astoria refused to sit for most of the ride, she wanted to stand up and look at everything passing by.

First up were the horses, deer, and llamas. She wanted to pet them all, no fear here!

Poor Lorelei even had to share her standing ground..
she was after those animals!

She LOVED it!

She almost couldn't contain herself when she saw this next:

Oh yeah, they were THAT close!

and she wanted to pet them all.


Oh and of course what's an animal park without a BEAR?
No worries, I didn't let her pet this one.

These days, this is what you get when you say "CHEESE"...she plays Peek-a-Boo. Yeah, we're still learning ;)

Or if you try too hard and too long to get a smile you the the 'please I really don't want to smile anymore look'.

I think this pretty much sums up how our day went. This may be one of my new favorite pictures.
