A Trip to the Animal Park


This past weekend I went to the Wild Animal Park with my grandparents.  All my sisters went except for Dakota.  The park used to be called the Wild Animal Park, but now it is called the Safari Park; I think that the Wild Animal Park was perfect and I don't necessarily like the name "Safari Park". 

First we went to go see the gorillas.  One of the workers there told us that there was a baby gorilla.  We walked over to the gorillas, but we couldn't see the baby very well so we decided to come back at feeding time.  So, on our way to the ducks we saw the meerkats.  When we got to the ducks, Grandma asked us if we wanted to feed them and we told her that we did.  One duck came and ate out of my hand (really it did)!  After we fed the ducks, we went to see the bird show.  There was this one owl that had a 5 foot long wingspan from tip to tip.  There was also a bird that had an 11 foot long wingspan.  When the bird show was over, we went to the gorillas again because it was feeding time and we got to see the mother gorilla holding the baby gorilla.  Next, we went to the cool zone.  The cool zone is a place with water to cool off in, in the park.  So, we played in the shower and unfortunately the spoons were not working.  All three of the bigger kids went under the bucket; Selah went under 2 times, and Arianna went under 3 times and so did I.  Then, we ate some snacks.  While we were going to the car, Grandpa told us to run across the grass like cheetahs with this cool music on.  I had a fun time at the Wild Animal Park.
