It was SO GOOD to spend last week with Ben! We are excited for his course to be over in a few weeks! Christmas is soon, and I really can’t wait. I love fall and winter, and all that comes with those seasons.
So, since we just spent time in the deep south of Alabama (arguably one of the best locations in the United States), it’s only fair to share with you one of the greatest highlights of our time together.
Enter: McClelland’s Critters Zoo
One of our favorite things to do in life is to discover really random and entertaining places. It’s only normal to expect some southern greatness while in Enterprise, AL. This was no exception.
When looking for something to do, Ben remembered a zoo that was highly recommended by our good friend Dillon Nutt. It. Was. Awesome. Thanks for liking cool and hilarious things, Dillon!
This wonderland is owned and operated by Aussies. How could it not be awesome? The fun couple who runs the zoo (which is in their yard) started it 17 years ago to help handicapped kids experience animals. Eventually they opened it up to the general public to help with expenses. This place is so fun, and hilarious. The next time you’re in Banks, AL, check it out. You will not be disappointed.
Here are some gems from our experience.
First, my personal favorites: eye contact with the animals...
The tiger didn't like eye contact.
The angry cow: priceless!
This is the zoo owner, feeding a marshmallow to the black bear. With his mouth.
And my personal favorite: I was fighting back the tears, can you tell?
What a stud. :)
That's all for now!
Julielle and Ben :)
