Carson Family Road Trip: San Antonio Safari Zoo

Today was possibly one of the most fun days of this road trip yet, as we were headed to Natural Bridge Wildlife Park: a drive through safari.  Of course all of these experiences come with their own safety concerns, and we ran into some problems. We knew this trip was a must next time we were in the Houston/San Antonio area, as it sounded cool.  You take your own car and drive through this zoo, feeding animals along the way.  We found out there were no wild cats to climb into our car, but being your in your own car, almost any animal can be cause of concern, especially since rhinos were a part of the experience.  This concern was raised loudly by my brother-in-law.  He pretty much forbid us from doing this with the risk of ruining our cars. He, however, stayed in Houston.

So, it was off to the park.  We arrived behind 2 buses of daycare kids, who had no fears. Although the signs said to drop the food pellets on the ground next to the car, they didn't listen.  We, however, kept our windows mostly rolled up, for safety of course.  It didn't take long for problems to occur though, as with animals, you never quite know what is going to happen.  Just take a watch a see.

There is more to come very soon, as the rhinos, zebras, giraffes, and ostriches were still ahead. That video is on the way.  Also, we made it through with plenty of gas.
