virginia safari park


so today we went to this place called 'virginia safari park' where you drive through and feed big animals from your car. it was awesome. as we entered the park louisa started feeding this big cow lookin thing with huge horns. it got real aggressive towards the food, spilled it all over our car, and stole the feed bucket. then it stuck its head in dad's window and snotted on him. it was hilarious. we then read in our guide that it was a 'watusi' cattle and that was one of the animals you werent supposed to feed. oops. but there were llamas, camels, zebras, bison, deer, elk, ostriches, and lots of other animals i cant remember. one animal also sneezed on me later. that was kinda grosse. and an ostriche took a little nibble out of jake's finger, but he was alright. it was like being in jurassic park! but sweet!
