Tiger Safari Oklahoma Zoo (by Jordan)

-

A few weeks before we went there Mom/Julie called the manager of the zoo and, when she did, no answer. Then a little bit later, Mom called again, this time he answered the phone and said, "Sorry, I just got back from India." I'll tell you Mom was surprised by that! 

She asked if we could park at the tiger safari and he said "You can park in my driveway, if you want. It's only a walk away from the safari." And she accepted the offer. 

If you don't know already, we got to pick where we want to go to for to states and the tiger safari is where I wanted to go to in Oklahoma. 

Anyway, when we got there the manager asked, "Do you want to see a baby zebra?" "Of course!," we said. And boy that zebra was not happy. She would probably bite your fingers off if you put your hand too close. She would kick the walls of her cage. She was about 1 and a half years old. When I saw her I thought: Tomorrow we get to go on the Mega VIP tour and bottle feed her!

The mega VIP tour: If you click this link you can learn more stuff about the park.

The mega VIP tour lets you feed two monkeys, two tigers, kangaroos, and a zebra, and it even has a free breakfast! PS: I only ate doughnuts for breakfast.

They have a nice sign!

The safari is in the town of Tuttle, OK.

In the morning we were getting an intro on the VIP tour and what we were going to be doing. In the corner of the office there was a sloth in a cage. It was moving faster than usual. There was also a lot of birds in the office. We later found out that there was a number of animals in the back room of the office because it was cold outside.

Mom did not go on the mega VIP tour because, as you can see in the link, it is $205 just for Dad, my brothers, and I to go.

The tour was great!

As I mentioned earlier, you can feed two monkeys. Well, one of the monkeys was old and dipped the hard food in his water bowl so he could chew it.

After the tour we went back into the office and two people came out and let us pet some animals from the back of the office.

And I forgot to mention that, on the tour I got to hold a lionhead rabbit. Turns out they had two lionhead rabbits, a boy and a girl rabbit. They had babies and those babies had babies and so on. They decided to let the lionhead rabbits roam around the park. And, sadly, some stumble into tiger cages and we all know that doesn't end well.

There was a few other people on the tour.

So there's the outline of Tiger Safari OK Zoo.

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!
