Fossil Rim

At the end of April, our little group of friends decided to take a trip down to Glenrose so that we could take all the kids to Fossil Rim. We rented “cabins” that looked like tents and stayed on the actual safari grounds. There was definitely a fence separating us from the animals…but that was it. It was pretty cool….however….I don’t camp. We all know this. And this little “cabin” (I’m gonna go ahead and call it a tent) was entirely too close to an actual tent.

Yes, it had air conditioning, and a bathroom…but it also had spiders, and bugs, and just… nature. I will say that I most definitely enjoyed the company…and the overall experience wasn’t bad. I mean, it was beautiful and peaceful during the day. But at night there were mice, and huge raccoons and spiders…and did I mention the nature?

On Sunday our group took a bus tour of the safari. And the weather was awful…about 30 (or more!) degrees colder than the day before and rainy. Not ideal safari weather. But the animals were great and the Giraffes were awesome! Made the whole safari worth it!

Anyway, I’m glad we went…the kids definitely had fun! And Hudson was so good! If the weather had been amazing on Sunday (like it was on Saturday) the actual safari would have been so much fun. There’s always next time, right?!
