Today we took a trip to Safari West. It's a small safari park about two hours drive from here. We were all really looking forward to it. Unfortunately things didn't quite go as planned. First, it rained. There was only a 30% chance according to the forecast, but we got it. That wasn't terrible though, as we went prepared for rain. The worse thing was, Edward refused to ride on the Jeep. Ever since I took him on a roller coaster in the summer, he has refused to ride on anything that remotely resembles one. He wouldn't even ride the train at the zoo last week, even though he loves trains. I tried to force him to stay on the Jeep until he got going, hoping that he would calm down once he realized it was just a car, but he was having such a fit I was asked to take him off.
So everyone else went off on the tour, and I took Edward back to the car. The tour was supposed to take 2 or 3 hours, so we went for a long drive. Edward took a nap, and I tried to calm down. When we got back we sat in the car and I did some writing for a little bit. Then we went to use the bathroom, and ran into the others who had just got back. They got very wet, and didn't see many exotic animals because of the rain. I was, however, able to get a refund for Edward's and my tickets, so not all was lost.
I took this photo while we were still waiting for the tour to start, before all the drama started. It was the closest I got to the animals. Oh well. Maybe next year.
