We took a spontaneous day trip to Harmony Safari Park in Huntsville, AL on Saturday (Aug. 9th). Upon arriving, we received a bucket of feed/treats for the animals. Our limitless trip around the farm was great! New experiences with all types of animals up close & personable! This particular emu jerked his long neck towards Lake & me. Needless to say, I rolled the window up quickly due to LakeLynn having a death grip on my arm saying, "no, no, no." The rest of the riding trip was spent with our window up! Stryker had an emu ram his head in the car pecking the feed cup that was in his hands! Stryker quickly said, "hey, what's with the attitude bird?!" Never know what crazy things that child will say. After riding around for about an hour, we parked to enjoy the walking trails. First up was the turtle area. We were able to feed them lettuce. LakeLynn was interested until I attempted to put her down. She was not brave then! This exhibit made Stryker want a pet turtle. At the highest point of the trail, a barn housed an 18 month old giraffe. There was also a big rock that had various fossils in it. The sign above said that over 300 million years ago, Harmony Park was under the ocean. This rock has not moved since! Stryker found a snail which he relocated to another place in the park. On our way home, we drove along a bridge which was another highlight of Stryker's.
