A couple of Fridays ago we decided to jump in the car and head to Hollywild Animal Park to see the Christmas lights and the animals that roam free. We have heard of this place ever since we moved here but hadn't made it there yet. I had heard that it was pretty neat to see the lights and the animals roam free. That's it. That's all we heard. We were not expecting the night we ended up having. You pull up to the animal park and it is definitely in the country but with about 10 rows of cars waiting to pay to get in. As I'm looking around I see minivans, trucks, SUV's FULL of people and all kids out of seat belts, car seats, etc.... We thought we'd join in and let Brooke out of her car seat. I seriously was waiting for a cop to pull me over! She was thrilled! She climbed up and sat in the middle console and smiled with glee. We paid to get in and then road through a glorious light display that was much more than we expected....THEN....we pulled up to a couple of guys that were selling food for the animals and that's when Scott asked, "Do we just follow the car in front of us?".... "Naw... you just go where you wanna....it don't matter where." We looked ahead and it seriously is a free for all of cars and animals all over roaming free. We (me, Scott, Nana) burst into hysterical laughing because you look around and you see hundreds of deer and there were donkeys, zebras, horses, and enormous cows. The funny thing was it was a gigantic pasture and you could go anywhere you wanted to. We ended up having a zebra in the window and a donkey that was using the grill of our SUV to warm it's nose. To end the night on the right note, Brooke used her travel potty outside just as we left the big field and was screaming hysterically thinking the animals were going to get her!! Don't worry, we only looked a little white trash with our child going to the bathroom where everyone could see. :) It was truly one of those nights that you would really have to experience on your own. You better believe we will be there next year!! :)

The deer and the pretty lights!

There was an area after the roaming animals that you could get out and see more...these guys couldn't be out in the wild. They may hurt my car!
Santa was there! Brooke is still a little afraid of good ole St. Nick!
Feeding the goats..Brooke loved doing this!
