Cotswold Wildlife Park

We went to the coolest wildlife park not too far from our house.  They had an area with nothing but monkeys where you could go into the cage with the monkeys.  The hardest part was they said you can't touch them.  Now how are they going to put us in a case with monkeys so close and not let you touch them!  I felt like a kid in a toystore with the parent saying "Don't touch!"  Yes, I had the hardest time with it.  You would think it would be the kids.  I obviously didn't listen to the lady before we went into the cage telling us what we could and could not do, because I got so excited and started to pet one when Aaron said "Christy, didn't you hear the lady, no touching."  Anyway, the rest of the park was cool too.  It was the closest I've ever been to some of the animals.  Even the giraffe's were so close they could have nibbled out of your hand if they wanted.  They also had the scariest lion I've ever seen.  Luckily it was in a cage behind a glass wall.  The thing roared so loud and for so long I felt like I was in a Lion King movie and the air flowing from its breath could have bent back a few trees.  They were scary but so cool.  There was a big building that looked like a castle in the middle of the whole park which gave us an even bigger Wow factor that "Hey we're actually in England!"  Evidently Aaron's favorite part was the black mamba snakes.  He went back in a second time to take more pictures.  That's big Aaron not little Aaron.  Although he was pretty taken by the reptile house as well.
