Fun Day with Bria and Cali!

Ken and I headed to Ephrata to pick up Cali and Bria at Sue and Dan's around 9.  We drove right to Halifax (above Harrisburg) to go to the Safari at Lake Tobias!  Briia and Cali thought it was a long drive (about 1 1/4 hrs.), but we did a lot of singing and talking.  Once there, we rode on the camouflaged painted school bus with the roof removed to drive through the area with lots of animals.  The girls wanted to sit on the inside of the seats for they were scared to be so close to the animals.  By the end of the ride, they were feeding the animals crackers and petting the buffalo - Wow!  After the safari ride, we walked around the grounds where animals were caged and enjoyed an informative show at the reptile house.  They even got to pet an alligator and a snake!  But, their favorite part was probably the petting zoo.  The loved feeding the llamas and goats and petting the large pot bellied pig.  Before we left, we enjoyed eating our picnic lunch and playing on the playground.  We spent 4 1/2 fun-filled hours there!

Ken looks like he is ready to go on a safari!

We stopped at the Lititz Community Park when we got back to town and had fun playing there and feeding the ducks.  After dinner and baths, we watched The Sound of Music, one of their favorite movies.  (Grandma likes it too!)

Sisterly Love!

Lititz Springs Park is so pretty and they love feeding the ducks!

I think this past week caught up with me, for I was very happy to go to bed when they did at 9!  It was a fun day with 2 special granddaughters!
