Our trip to Virginia

Juan and I took Amara and Sienna to Washington D.C/ Virginia to visit Gram, Grandpa, and Grandma. We had such a great time. Grandpa took us to the Safari Park, where we got to feed Llamas, Camels, Elk, Deer, Ostrich, Yaks, Wildebeast, and a lot of animals that we couldn't name. :) We put chairs in the back of my dad's pick-up truck and he would slow down so the animals could come eat out of the feed buckets in the back of the truck. Amara and Sienna LOVED it! This park also has Giraffe's, Kangaroos, and Monkeys in a fenced off area and Amara really had a great time!

We also went to the Natural Bridge Zoo- which is a privately run zoo. They have a large petting zoo area where Amara and Sienna got to pet a baby donkey and a baby camel. They also got to pet goats and chase some chickens. The highlight of the Zoo was taking an Elephant Ride together- Amara, Sienna, and I hopped on top of a large African Elephant and rode around a small arena. It was a great day.

Dee and Jeff were in VA with us- which was a lot of fun, too. The week went way too fast, and I can't wait until we can get back out and visit! Here are several pictures from our trip:
