Yesterday we headed over to meet my family at Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park. A seriously super fun place for all of us. It was worth the trip and the price of admission and then some!
We met my family for lunch first and then headed over. They have so many unique and different animals including zebras, giraffes, ostriches...so many animals you don't see. They had giant snakes, some scary spiders, a lot of turtles, a hissing cockroach, lemurs, goats, porcupines. I could go on forever.
We were able to feed the giraffes (and goats and maybe the zebras too...I can't remember). They had two giraffes who really loved to eat carrots.
My favorite part were the birds. For a dollar, you could buy a popsicle stick with bird food stuck to it. You walked into a big aviary and birds came right to you. The birds flocked to us and the popsicle sticks. Lincoln loved it! It could be some people's worst nightmare, but we loved it.
While we were in the bird cage, Kirk held chicks. I didn't get a picture of that, but they so cute and fluffy.
We took a safari bus ride where we saw all kinds of animals. I can't even name all of them. It was super fun! The kids loved the animals and the bus ride.
Go there if you've never been! I would totally take the kids again. Lincoln has declared he wants his birthday party there this year. :)

Earlier this week, I took the kids to paint pottery for Kirk. I decided to let them do their own thing and be completely hands off. It was so hard for me to not help at all, but I felt like it would mean more to Kirk if it was just from the kids. Lincoln and I raced to the Ceramic Studio to pick them up as soon as we got home yesterday. We were so excited to see the finished products! They turned out just as you would expect, but so special.
Today we went to Kirk's parent's. I didn't get any pictures but we had a great time and ate great food and enjoyed the company.
To my husband and my papa, I couldn't ask for anyone better! To all the other dads out there, I hope you had an amazing day, too!
