Up Close and Personal

The animal experiences available in South Africa are amazing. We visited the Lion Park and the Croc Farm in Johannesburg and got to touch and interact with lion cubs, a baby crocodile, a couple different pythons, a corn snake, a turtle, and a bearded lizards. We passed on the tarantulas. The boys LOVED it! Carrie even surprised me by letting the guy put the yellow python around her neck – this is a girl that hates snakes, but she also says she needs to surprise me every now and then.

Ryan sure looks like he's enjoying that! I don't like snakes either, but I remember putting one on my neck in Australia once too. It wasn't a python though... good for being adventurous.
