Going to San Antonio!

Heh.. We hit this place over Memorial Day weekend. It was okay, but the most memorable part was the freaky scary birds that came after us! I admit, we were feeding them from the window which you are NOT supposed to do but everyone does anyway but have you ever SEEN a bird bigger than your car stick its long snaky neck into your window with its pointy beak and demand food! I found a squeal trigger. I did NOT deal well.

Here’s the deal. Keep the windows closed if you’re gonna freak out. It’s really a safari park. The object of the game is that you drive through the park in your car. The critters can’t get in, and you can’t get out. It works.

We did get some excellent pictures..

These guys cracked me up. If you know what they are drop me a comment. I just called them goats for fun. Whatever they are, they would just stand there and stare at you. Reeallly. Side by side..staring. There was another one (same goat, he just changed his horns on the way over ) who came to talk to me at my window..this picture was taken as we drove away. I suppose he was checking his nose in the reflection on my paint.

He was pretty cute and fun. Did you know the tongues on these critters fit up their noses PERFECTLY? The angle the tongue comes out of their mouth is perfect for the angle of the slit of their nostril. I was horrified. Gag/laugh the whole time. So THAT’S how animals take care of that!

Okay, enough with the gross jokes-let’s get down to business.

Their website is located here. Admission is currently $15.50 per adult, $7.50 for children 3-11, and Senior citizens (65+) get in for $14.50. Summer hours are 9am to 6.30 Memorial day through Labor day, 9am to 5pm the rest of the year. From I-35, the ranch is very easy to find. Just follow the signs to Natural Bridge Caverns, there’s no way they’ll let you overlook the place.
