It was a pretty day today, and we decided to take the kids on a Sunday drive through the country. While we were strapping the kids in their car seats, Jonathan teasingly told Ryan, "Be sure and tell me all the animals you see....Cows, donkeys, horses, goats......Elephants, giraffes...." Of course Ryan, Mr. pragmatic, corrected Jonathan patiently explaining to him that elephants and giraffes ONLY live in the zoo. (Mental note: Introduce four year old son to the concept of jungles and exotic wildlife.)
So we are driving around in Kaufman County, TX, and what do we see? TWO ELEPHANTS and about FOUR CAMELS wandering around in a large fenced in area in some farmer's front yard. It was so crazy that Jonathan had teased Ryan about looking for elephants...and then we actually spot two of them.
WHAT??? Are you pulling our collective leg???
No! I'm not joking! I KNEW I should have taken my camera with us...
Your phones have cameras!!! Then people in Japan would believe you!
