Today on our day off we drove to Gentry, Arkansas to the Wilderness Drive-thru Safari.  It was a great surprise!  I have been to a few of these types of safaris that brag about all these exotic animals, but I usually leave disappointed.  Not so with this one.  It was the best Safari I have seen.  It had hundreds of exotic animals that could be seen through a four mile drive thru on their property that sprawled through the beautiful country of Northwest Arkansas.  The animals were out in the open where you could actually see them (unlike the zoo).  The park had a petting zoo that had many types of animals including, turkeys, kangaroos, zebras and prairie dogs.

There was a pony ride for Hannah.  The first time we went to the pony ride it was only $3.00.  As we were walking through one of the workers invited us to help ourselves to ride the pony (horse) as much as we wanted at no charge.  We had a picnic while there.  We brought our own food, but their concession stand was very reasonably priced.  By far, going to this safari allowed us to have fun as a family without breaking the bank.  It was well worth every penny.

You can check out the safari here.

Sunday afternoon, we drove to Devil’s Den State Park.  Don’t really care for the name but you could not question the beauty of our Creator there.  Before leaving for Devil’s Den, we took an afternoon nap.  When Hannah woke up she said, “I want to go climb a mount.”  So we took a trip to climb a mount.

It was a beautiful day with perfect weather. 

We had a good day yesterday.  The crowd was a little down but we still broke 100.  It seems that God is doing great things at RFA.  The worship went well and you could sense the presence of the Lord.  We talked about being more fruitful in our Christian lives.  Fruitful in our character (fruits of the spirit), fruitful in good works, and fruitful in our witnessing.  The response was tremendous at the altar time.  It appears that as believers, we all want to be more fruitful and make a difference for the Kingdom of God.
