Fossil Rim Wildlife Center

March 17, 2008

We have Lily for a couple of days while she is on Spring break and her mother is recovering from surgery. She is doing great by the way!

We decided to cancel my dentist appointment and go to Fossil Rim Wildlife Center today because is is suppose to rain all day tomorrow. We arrived at the park before 9am and left around noon. It is quite a scenic drive eventhough it is only 9.5 miles. Jerry bought feed and the animals came right up to the car for food and petting. Of course, the signs say don't let the animals eat out of your hand because some of them will bite. The girls in the car in front of us were feeding the animals from their hands so of course, Lily had to try it too. It was fine until we got to the zebras, then we decided we would have to keep Lily until her zebra bite went away or her mother would kill us. It nipped her on the arm an left a round spot about two inches in diameter, however, it was gone by the next day.

After that adventure we ate lunch in Glen Rose at Anderson's Cafe. It was a booming little restaurant and the food was pretty good. The rest of the afternoon was just spent watching TV and hanging out.

I took Lily home on Wednesday morning and we are now preparing for the Easter weekend. I am afraid it is going to rain and spoil the Easter Egg Hunt. Maybe it will hold off.

More later.
