Today Jim, the boys, and I went to Predator World in Branson West. It was fun to get a close-up look at some animals that we usually only get to see from far away. In some cases, I would have PREFERED to see them far away--like the HUGE Burmese pythons! I only took pictures of them because I was amazed at just how huge they really were--NOT because I liked them! Cooper didn't like them either. He kept saying, "Let's get out of here!" Besides the snakes, we got to see lions and tigers and bears, oh my! Sorry! I couldn't resist! We also saw crocodiles, a kangaroo, all kinds of fish--including Nemo & Dory (from "Finding Nemo"), tarantulas, wolves, HUGE turtles, sharks, sea turtles, Sting Rays, panthers, cougars, and some weird animals that I can't remember the names of! Cooper had the unique opportunity to feed some Sting Rays, a GIANT sea turtle, and sharks! Wouldn't you know it though, my camera batteries decided to die just as Jim and Cooper were getting ready to feed the Sting Rays! And the 6 spare batteries that I thought I had were all dead as well! Figures! Cooper dropped the little fish into the pool for the Sting Rays to eat and Jim fed a Sting Ray from his hand--with the guidance of the lady who worked there! I wouldn't have done that! Jim talked me into feeding one of the sharks. The Predator World guy put the fish on the stick and gave it to me, and I nearly screamed when the shark came up and ate it! Once I felt the power of the shark as he bit the stick and saw him just a few feet from me, I jerked the stick away as fast as I could! Let's just say I didn't enjoy that experience very much! Besides that, though, Predator World was a lot of fun!
