Fun with Animals – Blessings Multiplied

“Mandela” the white lion!

Our family had a great time at Hollywild Animal Park. Upon entering the park I was given a packet with a very nice “Welcome” letter from Kim along with a map, her business card, a bracelet for each of us to wear, and other park information. The workers from the Safari Bus driver to the Creature Feature Show to the Gift Shop Clerk and the various ones we encountered throughout our journey through the park were always willing to answer any questions we had along the way (most of the questions were the kids asking about various animals). It was a wonderful activity to do with the family.

As I have mentioned in a couple other posts several of the animals that reside at Hollywild have been stars in Movies, Commercials, Print Ads, Sport Events, TV Shows, events, and much more. The animals seemed friendly, content, and interactive with the people passing through the park.

It was great that even the lions were up and active while we were at Hollywild! Usually at the zoo and other places you don’t often see the lions moving or playing around too much in their pens. The white lion paused while moving around so we were able to get some shots of him, but the brown lion didn’t ever stop moving for a good picture.

We ended our trip through the park about the time they were getting ready to close. The workers were starting to feed the animals their dinners so that was pretty cool to watch some of the animals munching down on one of their favorites treats.

Someone came to say “hi” to me!

It is no great surprise to us that the Baby Animal Barn and the Creature Feature Show at Hollywild Animal Park were a big hit with the kids. There is something extra sweet about interacting with a soft fluffy baby animal. The girls could have spent even longer petting and feeding the goats. They were very entertained by them.

It was fun to watch them bottle feed the goats. Several of the little goats had obviously had some red juice earlier that day because their faces and mouths were covered with red drips. It was a great spot to have the kids interact a little more with the animals. You can’t pet every animal (like the lions, tigers, and bears for obvious reasons), but you could pet and feed some of them which made the experience more fun for the kids.

They had the most beautiful face and big eyes!

One of the parents with the little baby named “Marshmallow” they were so soft!

Jake got the girls bottles to feed the goats. They loved it!

Love the pink/red bottle drippings all over the face of this little goat. Too cute!!!

“Hey, do you have any treats for me!”

The hot pink tongue cracks me up. So adorable even with the hot pink spots on its face!

Karlie feeding a little one.

Brina feeding one of the goats while chatting and laughing at some of the other goats in the pen.

Brina feeding and petting the baby goat at the same time.

She probably could have stayed all day. Brina loves her goats and they are pretty entertaining to watch!

No matter where you stood there was always a goat friend nearby to greet you and see if you had any more treats to share!

Karlie loving it!

Having fun with my family. Thankful for a good time together learning about a variety of animals at Hollywild.

Brina would be content to do this everyday. She loves animals!

Trying to make sure everyone gets their turn with the treat!

This one looks super soft! He must have gotten enough to eat and is now taking a little rest.

Bottle feeding the goat.

Karlie giving a little goat a treat!

Smart goat! A kid dropped a bottle inside the pen which got kicked around a few times to where it was unreachable. This goat picked up the bottle off the ground walked over to the fence and propped it up so it could easily drink from the bottle. Hilarious watching it, but very resourceful if you want a little sip.

The newest baby in the group. Super soft and cute!

The little guy decided to take a rest in the feed bucket.

Karlie petting the zebras and animals next to the goats

Brina giving him a good rub!

It was cute hearing the girls talking with the animals. I really liked how the animals were very active and friendly. All the ones you could pet always came to the fence which made the kids happy.

We got there a few minutes early so relaxing for a minute while we wait for the Creature Feature Show to start.

“Speedy” the turtle!

“Marshmallow” not sure about all the people looking at her. She was still a little bit timid.

Talking about Marshmallow

Another soft one to learn about and pet.
