Popcorn Popping on the Campbell Tree: Day 3 of the Canada Trip

Oh, Porter, you are my angel. Anyone who knows Porter, knows that he lives to clean, put out the trash and line up trash cans perfectly, mow lawns and fix stuff just like Daddy. Early this morning he jumped at the chance to help mommy.

Our camp site last night was at Jedidah Smith Redwoods camp site. As we were leaving and backing out the motor home to leave, Lydia discovered a banana slug. Scott's parents were right, its one of the best ones around!

We are super happy, one state closer to Canada. Happy to be in Oregon. We have some cool stops for the kids in Oregon.

Along the way, the right thing to do was to help try to get the tree out to the road. Well, we tryed...
Along the way the rain and wind was so strong that we saw land slides everywhere.

The prehistoric gardens was a stop that we had planned, but they were closed contrary to their website, answering machine and hours of operation on the front door. Oh well, a picture by a dinosaur is good enough. Money saved there means more souvenirs somewhere else!

Oh boy, this is what I was waiting for.. the safari gaming park. Animals that run free throughout, nursery petting area and zoo all in one. LOVE IT.

Lydia petting a animal from the raccoon family.

McKenzie holding a ferret.

Lydia was in heaven. I have never seen her so happy, surrounded by all these animals. Afterwards she said she wants to be a vet. Love her smile as she holds this possum.

Sarah petting a descented skunk. I don't think she trusted that information from the employee.

I went right in there and said, "Itchy Butt." And gave that skunk the best butt rub of his life. Don't you know that skunk stopped dead in its tracks to get that rub.

This leopard loved Lydia and her purple jacket. He jumped down so fast and charged the area where Lydia was. I had almost forgot that we were protected.

When was the last time you saw a White Tiger. The girls loved it. After we were all done at this safari park, the girls chose a white tiger stuffed animal. And Porter chose a huge snake, that he uses as a lasso and says, "I'm a cowboy."

Llamas are roaming free.

We saw the brown and black bear and decided to buy some food to feed them. We received some vital information about the secret to these bears. The food that you buy there come in a sugarless cone. The employee said to feet the other animals the food inside the cone and save the cones for the bears. Go to the cage where the bears are and tap the cones on the cage. Where then the bears will stand up and talk to you for the cones.

There must have been 30 deer in this herd wandering around the park.

I know this is my fault that Porter doesn't like to get messy. He was so concerned about getting is shoes and pants dirty. Not to mention the poop that was around the park.

When I saw this, I instantly thought of Mary and Joseph in the manger.

We heard lightening and thunder after we just entered the motor home from visiting the safari park. Blessings are so abundant. We are able to see and visit everything and the bad weather has stopped for us. When we start driving again the strong winds and rain start back up. And this has been happening throughout this trip.

After the Safari Gaming Park we went to the Discovery Children's Museum that is all hands. We arrived and walked in and the employee said that we are going to have to close early, you have 30 minutes to play. The town had just received the warning horn that is heard throughout. They are leaning on the side of caution due to the Tsunami a couple of days ago.
