Eric’s class went on a field trip to Lion Country Safari this week. I’ve always been curious about this place. Ten years I’ve lived here, and I’ve driven past it dozens of times on my way to birding in the glades or elsewhere, but I’ve never been there. So, naive parent that I am, I agreed to accompany the class on its trip. We all came home alive. ’nuff said.
Here are a few of the animals we saw:
