Part 7 Wild Animal Park / Family



Wednesday March 16th
This was our final day in California. As our last adventure we decided to take a trip to the Wild Animal Park (or the renamed Safari Park). Grandpa Fred was able to take the day off of work and join us, so that was extra special. Reagan took his hand and stayed at his side the entire day. We were pretty tired, so we had a short day, but we still enjoyed the safari tour, the bird show, the elephant run, and not getting peed on by any tigers (past experience).













We left the park by 3 in order to meet Mark's Aunt Julie, Uncle Jeff and Cousin Jim at the house. We had a short visit at Dad's house and then went out to eat at the Claim Jumper, where we met David and Cecilia. We had a wonderful time catching up. It reminded us how lucky we are to be a part of this family.
Thursday March 17th - St Patrick's Day
We traveled to Phoenix, AZ had dinner with Grandma Christiansen, Kevin, Corrie and her kids. Only Mark wore green.
Friday March 18th - Headed Home
Mark wants it mentioned that he drove the whole way. I thought I'd mention that he got pulled over after we crossed into Texas, but the guy took one loook at our packed car and figured we couldn't afford a ticket. What a trip!
