What? More zoo?


Today Nel decided we should go to the Dutch equivalent of Lion Country Safari. Is there still a Lion Country Safari?

That is, it's a wildlife preserve where the animals wander abround and you drive through in your car. Except that there is also the option of going through by boat, bus, or on foot also. The "on foot" part takes a different route, and there the animals are behind fences, never fear.

It was also fun, and Eldest has now decided that this is where he wants to go for his birthday. He held out for Chuck E. Cheese for a long time, until we finally impressed on him that flying overseas with a few of his closest friends was Not An Option. So: Lion Country Safari. Er, Beekse Bergen, I mean.

We may actually do it, as he only wants to invite three kids for his birthday.


With the rhinos.
















Whaddaya mean, he looks just the same?

That place looks like fun. I'm glad the boys got to go.

I like Douwe's first idea best....let his party be a Chuck E. Cheese. Great idea!

Maybe you could open a CEC franchise there? What would be the translation in Dutch?

Great photos! It looks like a fabulous place for a birthday party. (Is this what I will be doing in a few years? My girls want to have skating parties.)
