"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow, what a ride!'"

Cheetah Encounter

We LOVE living close to Wildlife Safari! We have had so many amazing experiences there. We go once a week (on average, depending on the season--sometimes it's twice a week) and we always see something cool there. This is a video of the girls and I on a Cheetah encounter. The Safari offers different "encounters" with the animals in the park. For this one, we got to walk through the park to the Cheetah and Tiger area and see the animals close up. The Cheetahs were all VERY interested in the two little girls in pink in the front row. Mmmmm..... Tasty. I took several videos of the cats hissing, spitting and chirping at the girls and then handed the camera off to the woman behind me so that I could be in one with them, too. Haylee kept trying to pet the Cheetahs and Kate kept calling "Here Kitty", chirping at them and kept telling them to "Sit, Cheetah. Sit!" They have no fear. We're in trouble!!!!

Cheetahs: Hey Kate and Haylee--let me get in your car!

That's so cool that the kids get to see that in real life--way better than a book! And how did I not know that Cheetahs chirp? Obviously I've only read about them in a book!
