Croc Farm III - The Return, Again

We made it back from the Croc Farm safely with all 7 kids and all the fingers we came with - which I have to say, is quite the accomplishment! The first time we went there, it was just our family. Then we took Matt and Tricia. Now we went with our family, another family who has 4 kids and their friend. It was good, crazy, hot, slightly stressful and fun. A very mixed combo.

We watched the Croc Show again, where they put their heads in the crocs' mouths and all their crazy stuff...and the whole time I kept thinking, "The 1st time it was crazy, the 2nd time it was fun and now I just feel like the odds are against me and we're gonna see someone get their head chomped off." Not good.

The highlights this time for me, I think, were that we got to buy bunches of string beans and feed them through a fence to goats and then deer that came out - too fun! (And I'm sure I've mentioned before that goats are Dan's favorite animal, so that was fun, too!) And at some point in the morning Kylie made some reference to the "pigs" at the zoo and I thought she was crazy - then we saw the wild boar's they had! And little boar piglets! So cute!

We had a fun time with the other family - our 3 kids were allowed to walk and hold hands with their "buddy" and did a pretty good job of it. Surprisingly Jack and his buddy D did the best at staying together and holding hands! I wish I would have gotten a picture of all of them doing it, because it was too cute, but clearly I wasn't thinking about it then! Here are some highlights of the 119 pictures I took and I'm pretty sure that Ken beat me and took more!

The 2 families at the very end! We lasted 5 hours, which - with 7 kids aged 7 and under, not too shabby in 96 degree weather!

Two minutes into the car ride home - zonked!
