Buffalo Park

For Memorial Day my friend Tori and I decided to do something special with the boys since both our husbands were out of town. (Emily backed out when we told her what we were planning. (: ) We took them to the Tupelo Buffalo Park and Zoo to see the... buffalo!



I was impressed with the facilities and especially with the opportunity to rub noses with some interesting creatures not native to Mississippi.



A platform was built next to this guy's house so we could walk up and feed him. His tongue practically wraps around your arm as he reaches out to eat off your palm. Andrew was pretty excited about it but I think James was a little skittish.


Pretty nifty idea, I thought.
