Yes, I know it looks wrong, but I promise it's spelled "Africam'" not "African." We had the debate in the car and couldn't figure out why, either... so don't lose any sleep over it! Anyway- 2 hours away in the city of Puebla lies a safari zoo full of wildlife you can see while you drive in your car. A little bit of Africa in, well, Mexico.
Popocatepetl, in all it's volcanic beauty, stands approx. 17,500 feet above sea level. On a good day you can see it in the city, and from Puebla it's quite radiant.
Due to non-stringent seat belt laws, Reyn got to see most of the safari from this point of view. Don't think horrible of me- I promise we never exceeded about 5 mph.
The kids in the van.
I know it's blurry- but I had to include this picture because it's a bear! Right there next to us!
A lot of my pictures have parts of the car in them. I know it's not pretty, but I did it on purpose to show the proximity of the animals.
Ayzha's favorite- the white tigers. We were happy to finally reach this exhibit, because that meant we didn't have to hear anymore questions about when we were going to see them.
This donkey stopped in front of the van for a while, then when Ben tried to pass him, he came and stuck his head in my window.
Lioness.
Ben was terrified it was going to bite him while he was looking at the camera. Ostrich are pretty freaky birds, you know.
After the drive-through, we went to petting zoo. I was really excited to see how my fearless one year old would react. She didn't disappoint.
I love this picture. She was leaning over talking to the goat.
And these are some vids of the kids picking up rabbits.

That looks so fun. Brad served his mission in Puebla....I wonder if he made a visit there?
I am so jealous! I have always wanted to go on a safari like that. Now I have another reason for wanting to come to Mexico. :)
Talking with goats and picking up bunnies--what a girl!
Hilllllllllllarious videos!! I can't believe how fearless she is!!! Those are AWESOME pictures... seriously cool place!!!
That looks like so much fun! Who knew there was a little piece of Africa in the middle of Mexico?!
Removed cousin here. Your "fearless one" certainly looks like she belongs to the F family. What a great adventure for you all!
Hmmmm. . . I realize that I wasn't specific enough in my previous comment. She looks like she is a member of the Fr family. It's nice to have accidentally hooked up with you. How are things?
Cute videos. Hope those bunnies are used to curious kiddos... ;)
