the Wilds June 2011

We have not been to the Wilds for several months and with the zoo coming in there are lots of changes and things we needed to see!!  We took, Nate, Tiff, Braxton and Hudson and also our cousin Natalie and Steve who had never been!  It was a perfect day too do not to hot and overcast!! We had a wonderful time.  I checked out the zipline...... not sure if I have the courage to go zipping or not but if I do I will post it on here for sure!! It is due to be complete by the end of this month Adam is for sure going to do it but boy its higher than I thought and the last part of it goes over the lake and rumor is you could go up to 35mph.  They also have horse trails that I think I could handle! I hope to try that sometime as well, our kids are too young for the horse trails although they probably would love it as well!

Addisn, Braxton, Hudson and Ayla ready to go!

Another shot at these cute kids!!

I forgot to take pictures of the giraffe, we were feeding them and I had to hold onto the kids so that they wouldn't get pulled out of the truck while the giraffe were eating the branches! The rhinos are always fun to watch!

Ayla and Braxton brought their very own cameras this time and got some good shots!!

These are two of the "baby" cheetahs, not such babies anymore, they are nearly 8 months old and they look so big!!! 

The Columbus Zoo has program animals come down to the Wilds on weekends and do short presentations on some animals so we dropped by, these animals and guys travel around with Jack Hanna and are on all of the shows that you see Jack on.. This was Trout the penguin!!

They had 2 baby gray foxes they were adorable and super soft!!

An armadillo, I wish we got video of this thing running around it was so fast and light on its feet!!

This is Edward one of the cheetahs born at the wilds that the mother did not take care of.  It is traveling all over the world now and has been on many news and talk shows!!

This week the wilds got 3 new ostriches.  I think they are ugly and mean looking..
