Our Spring Break mini-road trip continued as we headed East to Port Clinton, OH. Normally, a popular summer vacation spot for all of the Lake Erie based activities. At this time of the year, there are few things open for business. One thing we did find was the African Safari Wildlife Park. It is a drive-thru African animal park. We paid our carload admission and were given two cups of animal food then drove through the gates. We were almost immediately greeted by a herd of deer. They come up to your car and know that, if the windows are rolled down, you have food for them. They eat right from the cup. It was amazing to see these deer, alpacas, buffalo, and ox up close. Several of them stuck their heads right into our open windows! The boys had a blast and, in spite of the rain and hail (yes, it hailed while we were there) we went through three times! Each of the boys took turns sitting on my lap in the front seat so that they could have a chance to hold the cup for the animals to eat from. Nick really didn't want to hold the cup or get that close to the animals, but he did enjoy putting the carrots into the cups for the animals to eat from. I think we'll definitely have to go back when the walk-through part of the park is open.
