Sharkarosa Wildlife Fun!

One of the many advantages of homeschooling is being able to attend homeschool days at various locations.  In April, the kids and I went to Sharkarosa Wildlife Ranch on their homeschool day, and had a great time checking out all the animals!

Luken took a little class about snakes, so Keeley and I wandered around.  She made good friends with a camel.  :)

Later, we took the tram out to the rest of the property and got to get up close to some more animals.  Here, there was a zebra horse and a zebra donkey!

At the end, we saw a presentation about this albino cobra!!  He has been de-venomed and de-fanged.  Super cool!
