Homosassa Wildlife Park

Somebody recently celebrated a birthday....

And all he wanted to do...

...was spend the day with his family (aren't we special?? :)

So we went on a family outing to a wildlife park....

We stopped and had lunch...

Got all saddled up and ready to go....

And then it was off to see the animals....

Our first stop was the manatees (can you see him in the water??)

Some of the manatees had familiar faces....

Handsome faces....

And super cute faces...

Both the girls really loved the manatees....

Well, Squeaky really loves ANYTHING....

But the water was really clear...

And the manatees were out and about...

And the smiley babies were out and about as well...

We even got to see a baby manatee....

Then it was off to the Education Center....

Where we had a snack.....

And saw some gopher tortoises...

And fish......

Then back outside to see the rest of the animals....

We met the wildlife park "celebrity".... Lu the Hippo...

He was having lunch when we stopped by...

We also got to see....

...alligators...

And all sorts of birds....

...like owls....

...and....

BEARS!!

And more birds...

And we even got to see the trainer feeding the animals....

Squeaker eventually had enough... and fell asleep in Grandma's arms....

It was a long and fun day.... the girls slept all the way home!!
