Wild Weekend Adventures

This weekend was quite the exciting one between initiation and a trip to the zoo!

Initiation was Friday night and I can’t even believe it has been 2 years since I was initiated. It brought back memories about that night when I was a freshman and all the excitement around it. I’m so happy for my new, official, sisters to be a part of AOII! I’m so happy for my Grandlittle (I’m still coming to terms with the fact that I’m a grandbig) and can’t wait to see what AOII has in store for her!

Saturday my friend Sarah and I took a trip to the Wild Wilderness Safari drive through zoo in Gentry, Arkansas and it was probably the best thing I’ve done in Arkansas in a long time. I went in expecting rinky-dink, because lets be honest its Gentry, Arkansas, but it was FANTASTIC! There was so much more to it than I expected and was pleasantly surprised. The zoo just had two baby lions and they were SO cute!! Of course we had to go hold them and that was an experience that was way too cool, and hilarious.

Baby lions are like giant kittens and the poor Kappas in front of us found that out after the poor girl got her hair basically eaten by the baby lion and another girl got peed on. Both equally hilarious incidents and I was beyond glad that I was not on the receiving end of either one of those situations.

  

After Sarah and I checked out the baby lion multiple times we jumped in my jeep and headed on the safari. 

Side note: again, thanks Mom and Dad for the jeep I don’t think the corolla could have made it through the safari. The animals were fabulous and sometimes terrifying.

Enter: the emu. These birds were HORRIFYING and everywhere!!! And they would come right up to your car and peck at your windows. I felt like I was in Jurassic Park and shortly after they came up to my car a velociraptor would be next.

pure Jurassic Park terror

Emus aside, the zoo was great and so was initiation. Congratulations baby pandas! And if anyone wants to go to the zoo, call me I’ll be more than happy to go
