Today I went to Lake Tobias! I have to say that it was a little overwhelming for me but I really did have a good time. What is Lake Tobias? Lake Tobias is a wildlife park located in Halifax, PA. It is huge and has many animals to look at. At the park you can walk around and visit a bunch of exhibits, feed animals in the petting zoo, or even go on a safari! Yes, you can go on a safari and get up close and personal with many animals. I was full of energy, and was my buddy Robbie, so we decided to do all three.
After about 7 seconds in the petting zoo, we quickly realized that I am definitely a city slicker. Mom had bought crackers to feed the animals and given me one so I could take part in the fun. Well, I didn't quite understand that I was supposed to give the cracker to the goats so the goat decided to eat my shirt. Yes, the goat had a mouthful of my new white shirt in his mouth. I was screaming. Mom was being mauled by animals because she had a stack of crackers. I thought I was a goner. Finally, the attendant to the petting zoo decided to come to our rescue. He scared all the animals away and I quickly threw my cracker as far as I could and made Mom hold me. Don't worry, I eventually got back down and tried it again. Mom told me to keep moving and the wouldn't eat my shirt. So when I would see one coming, I would scream and run the other way. Yeah....and Mom told me that was supposed to be fun.
I did enjoy the zoo exhibits. I kept trying to feed the monkeys and lemurs rocks. They weren't happy and let me know it. I also got to see zebras for the first time! So cool! There were lots of deer, ducks, bison, peacocks, elk, and a bunch more I can't think of right now. We got to see most all of them up close when we went on the safari tour. It was so neat. We got to ride in a camoflague bus that had the roof cut off of it. It was my very first time on a bus!
Mommy took lots of pictures (189) so she has only a small amount of them ready to post. Hope you enjoy them!
