Lake Tobias

 Today we headed west to check out Lake Tobias in Halifax, PA.  The twins had a fantastic time with twin boys, Sammy and Stephen, who showed us the ropes!  Heather, mother of said twins, and I have come up with a fantastic job in order to quit our day jobs....we're going to convince my dad to open up "Stanton Safari" replicating what Mr. Tobias created on his land.  Added bonus, we'll throw in a little heavy machinery playground and it' s a goldmine, people!!!

First up, the safari ride!!

Ready with our bag of popcorn to feed the animals.  Cameron was so cute -- he kept telling us to not eat the popcorn because it was for the animals.  Allie on the other hand only wanted to eat "the yellow popcorn".

Michael feeding the elk!

Cameron did not like "the big guys".

He did however like "the little guys".

I liked this guy!

Hey!  That's my arm!

Allie throwing some crackers to the animals...

"Here llama, llama, llama!!!"

Now that is just ridiculous to need that much on top of your head!

So beautiful!!

This is Emma.  She wanted a ride on our bus.  Cameron said, "Emma, get off!!"

Allie said the llamas were her favorite animal!!

 Back to the farm and time to check out some other animals!

Cameron and Stephen petting one of the miniature ponies.

Sammy and Allie checking out another!

It's Dominik the Donkey!  Sammy giving him some pets...

Allie says, "Step off, Dominik!"

Love the one finger pet...

Keep it movin', people!

So cute!

Holy momma!

Our movie star!

  So we drove 2 hours, took the kids on an awesome safari ride, got to pet and feed many animals...and what was the highlight of their day?  The playground of course!

Allie LOVED it!

Thank you, Heather, for a fantastic day...and all of the great pictures!!!
