Our Trek to Wildlife Safari

When we came down to Sutherlin the first weekend in May, the church gave our family a gift certificate to Wildlife Safari.  This park is south of Roseburg in a little town called Winston. (Every time I saw the sign I thought of Uncle Chuck and Aunt Diana's beloved sheepdog named Winston.)  Anyway...since today was Vaughn's day off, we decided it would be a good day to visit.

One of many giraffes


American Bison

Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See?  I see the Stehr Family looking at me!

Amazingly beautiful zebras!

Elephant

This giraffe practically blends in with the trees!

Black Bucks
This place is pretty amazing!  The majority of the park is a drive through where the animals roam around and you make sure you don't hit them!  We took a zillion pictures!  The zebras were my favorites - just seeing their patterns reminded me of how God created such beautiful and complex creatures!  I also liked the bison since I taught my 8th graders about how so many were killed on the Great Plains during the building of the Transcontinental Railroad.
