Longleat

Another nice trip that grandma and grandad planned for us was a trip to Longleat. It's another estate belonging to one of these lords and stuff(google it if you want to know). But this one has been converted into a multi-use amusement park with a safari park, adventure castle, train ride, Postman Pat's village and the list goes on. This place is HUMONGOUS!

The first stop at Longleat was the Safari Park. We started off with a bit where you can walk around and look at smaller animals. It was nice to be able to walk around and stretch our legs a little and drum up some enthusiasm from Tyler who had just roused from his snooze. He was particularly intrigued by the wallaby and its joey. Ha! which is funny because that was Tyler's pre-born nickname!!

We then continued with the driving part which was pretty well done and we saw lots of animals, including rhinos, tigers, lions and wolves. And of course Tyler had to choose the most inopportune time to want to go "pee-pee", which was when we were in the lions areas. Grandad quickly drank up some soda and gave it to him to pee in, which suprisingly he did without any fight. Truly his Daddy's boy! I didn't get a picture because i didn't want him to decide NOT to pee..

The rhinos..

The monstrosity that they rented for the weekend!! haha!! Very comfy for sure!!


After the safari, we went to the main amusement area for lunch and continued our adventure on trains and cups and all!

And oh, we also went to Postman Pat's(Tyler calls him Postman's Hat) Village which probably was Tyler's favorite!

Another ice cream that Tyler made Grandma buy but didn't eat!!

We left the park around 5 pm as Tyler was getting a little tired and cranky, having missed his afternoon nap. And besides, the park was closing!! Tyler must have enjoyed the trip a lot as he still talks about Postman Pat's house with grandma all the time.
