Global Wildlife Center

My best friend Jodi is such a sweetheart.  She took off work on Monday and suggested we take the girls to the Global Wildlife Center in Folsom, LA.  Now, I grew up around this area and never knew this place was there.  So, we made it a girls day and packed up the kids and grandmaws and headed out.

It was an amazing experience!  Who knew there was alittle Africa right in the middle of South Louisiana!  The center covers over 900 acres and is the home for giraffes, deer, antelope, zebra, buffalo, bison, camels, kangaroo, and more birds than I can name.  All wandering free!  And you get to feed them up close and personal!  You get loaded into very comfortable and roomy covered wagons and embark upon and 1.5 hour journey through the natural preserves of South Louisiana with nothing between you and the wildlife but a cup of feed!  And they are so happy to see you!  The girls had a great time!  I highly recommend this to anyone close by.  Its an experience that you just can't get at the zoo.
