On Friday my eldest daughter became a teenager and on Saturday we had the most magical day you could ever wish for.
We went to the West Midlands Safari Park in UK with 4 of her friends, my youngest daughter and her friend.
This is a magnificent place as it has a theme park with rides and it also has a safari park, where you can drive through the lions, tigers, white lions, white tigers, deer, giraffes, buffallo and other animals.
The girls shrieked with delight as they fed some of the animals out of their hands.
The deer are very forward in their approach and stick their head- antlers and all - right into the car to get food! They stand in the road and make sure the cars stop!
Just as we passed the wallabys, one of the girls yelled loudly "Look, the wallaby's having a baby!"
and it was. We watched as the mother gave birth to this tiny creature. What a sight!
Here is a baby wallaby that is minutes old,
The next magical moment was when the girls were feeding a giraffe out of the sunroof of the car. Greg was too far behind in the other car to get a picture of that. It was a most weird sensation.
Birthday girl, Stephanie was the star of the sealion show and got to feed a sea- lion as well as to get a wet sloppy kiss on the cheek. Her face was a picture.
After the tour, we had a fantastic lunch and the girls went on the rides in the theme park. When we finally left, we had several extra teddies with us, which had been won.
Back at home we sang Happy Birthday and cut this enoumous cake with jam, fresh cream and mountains of icing- yum, yum, just perfect for Mummy on a diet (well maybe that starts next week!)
It was so much fun and we enjoyed every minute of it.
With abundant blessings
Amanda
