Bayou Wildlife Park

This Thanksgiving my parents, my sister's family and my younger brother Brad came to Houston to visit. On Saturday we went to the Bayou Wildlife Park in Alvin, TX (about 30 minutes from us) and had a great time. We all laughed like crazy and will definitely visit again!
They have a variety of animals from llamas, rhinos, alligators, deer and many endangered species. You ride a 45 minute tram ride through the park and you can feed the animals from your bucket. You definitely get to see the animals up close and personal. Grant sat with Andrew most of the tram ride but was interested in the animals when they came to get food from us. Just getting to the park- Already got to feed the lamas who came up to the car
Checking out the giraffes before getting on the tram

Cousin Madeline, grandma and grandpa-Madeline squealed the whole time. She loved it!

Taking off-let the fun begin!

We were startled when we turned around to see some sort of weird cattle slobbering all over our diaper bags. I love Andrew's face!


Grant liked him!

"Whoa! That camel is close!"


Grant checking out the animal while Dad is not so sure of it

"Look at him eat! He is messier than me!"

The llamas would not leave us alone. They would run alongside the tram and car begging for food.

More llamas!


Forgot what this is called but he was big!

I was most scared of the ostriches. They can be so mean, but my Dad was brave enough to feed them.


This camel was practically in the tram trying to get food from my Dad.


My sister, baby Caroline, Madeline and Uncle Paul. Love this pic!



I think these next 2 are my favorites-Uncle Brad deleting pics on our camera so we had room to take more-not realizing a camel behind him.....

AGHHH!!! "Give me some food!!" Having fun! Look at the faces on Grant and Andrew

Hanging out with the deer

The deer is way too tired to smile for pics.
