Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!

On Safari
We went on a safari the weekend of the 4th of July in Santa Rosa called Safari West. We rode on a jeep in an open wildlife preserve and got to see the animals up close and personal.
The boys loved it. Especially when one giraffe decided to come and check us out when we were on top of the jeep. He was literally a foot away from Diego's face. It was so cool!
By the end of the 3 hour tour, Joaquin was getting sleepy but once again proved to be an awesome travel companion. He was awake for the whole event and never once complained. It was a great family trip. Next time, we'll have to go and stay the night. How cool would that be?

How awesome was that??? So cool! Just stay away from the ostriches. I heard they are mean! My friend was attached by one... how random is that? =)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask you about this. Great photos. I think my kids would love that. Great seeing you guys today. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. We are thinking of going to a safari later this summer. I read your first posts on instincts and the birth. Wow what a story. Mommy always knows!! It reminds me of my story in that I knew something was wrong too.
ReplyDeleteI think I will read the book that you mentioned about the set of twins.
I went there when I was young
