Patchwork

Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!!

While visiting our oldest son, Davy and wife, Kt and our three wonderful grandchildren, Riley, Braeden and Darby, we were able to visit and spend the morning at Wild Wilderness Drive Through Zoo. The four-mile, 400 acre zoo, located in Gentry, Arkansas, was really neat. Needless to say the kids had a great time!

We traveled from their new home in Cave Springs, northwest of Bentonville, through country roads to Gentry. Upon entering Gentry, which was one of my destination spots, I jumped out of the van and had my picture taken with the Gentry sign. Guess who I sent it to? (My boss of 39 years!)

Anyway, we arrived safely and spent the first hour of our tour at the petting zoo. There were animals to pet everywhere. Davy even got in on the act by making friends with a emu! (There’s a story to be told. When the boys were little, they were traumatized by a herd of emus chasing them at a farm west of Many.)
