Bayou Wildlife Park Dickinson, Tx

For those of you that live near or around Houston, Bayou Wildlife Park in Dickinson, Tx is a must to visit!  Hub's stepdad's best friend for 60 years owns this place and it's been featured in National Geographic for it's amazing animals!  We can't get enough of it and try to go every summer!  The cost is about $18 per adult and $9 for children, and worth every penny!  I highly encourage you to pack a picnik and take a day trip for an afternoon full of awesomness:-)  Here are some pictures of our visit yesterday!


This is the Jeep we took on our "safari adventure"



Baby Cakes was thrilled with the animals and not a bit scared!  This poor goat was as big around as she was tall:-)  I'm guessing she had a couple of babies in there!



This picture cracks me up.... of all of my kids, Bear is my ultimate animal lover!  This sweet little doe loved her right back:-)


This guy just wanders around the park hoping to catch a crumb or two from your picnik:-)


Bayou Wildlife Park was offered $200k for this big boy!   Of course they wouldn't take it!  Isn't he lovely?



This was one of the four giraffes @ the park!  Bayou Wildlife sports a brand spankin' new little boy named Sparkie measuring in at 6 ft. tall!


All the kiddos goofing around:-)



Our sweet friends came out to enjoy the park with us!


The animals chase the Jeep wanting to eat!  We always get there early in the morning so the animals are good and hungry!



Isn't this baby the cutest thing ever?  The top picture is of momma ostrich and the bottom is of her baby that follows her everywhere:-)


This girl is enjoying the bucket of food that she snagged from Bo Jack:-)  Somehow these animals have figured out just how to push down on the buckets hard enough for the kids to drop them!


This guy slobbered all over the kids- good thing for baby wipes!!


This picture doesn't pertain to the wildlife park, but afterwards we drove into Galveston and took a walk on the Strand and bought a few gifts:-)  This is what we saw along the seawall on the way!  It was too amazing not to photograph and share!
