In the Wild

Our last few weeks have been wild! In the past 2 weeks, my parents came, we went to Poland, and school started. So much to blog about! But, I hate going out of order, so I must back up 2 weeks. We ventured out into the wild and visited the Budakeszi Wildlife Park. 

In the usual Hungarian randomness, the parking lot was at least a kilometer away from the entrance. But, if you paid 300 forint (about $1.50), you could park right by the entrance. We didn't want the big kids to get tried of walking before we had even entered the park, so we sprung for the good parking.

The park is sort of like a zoo, but I think the goal is to show animals native to Hungary. 

The highlight was the petting zoo, where they ask you to sit on a bench and wait for the animals to approach you. We bought food, and we all loved the deer.

Throughout the park, there are signs by each animal indicating whether or not you can feed that animal.

Reindeer, okay to feed. 

No feeding the bears. Only feed bears at the other wildlife park. 

There was a nice, but rickety, tower we climbed near the bears. At the top, we were rewarded with a nice view of the Hungarian countryside. We took a quick picture and then headed down.

We only made it through half of the park before we all had had enough. It was a fun family outing, and I would recommend it!
