What 'cha doin'?? Oh, just riding on an elephant.

We were VERY excited (and me slightly nervous) about going on an Elephant Back Safari. We had a blast with Miss Ellie (Tyler and Spencer's elephant) and Makukkie (my elephant).

Tyler and Spencer getting on their elephant with their guide. I was already on mine.

Me and my guide on Makukkie. It was an amazing ride to have! These elephants are huge, and SO strong. Our elephant kept ripping branches from the trees we would pass to eat the leaves, and it was quite a sight to see.
We didn't see any other animals while on this safari, pretty much just a little elephant ride.
Beautiful eyelashes, huh? How would you like to curl those babies? :)
Spencer and Tyler on Miss Ellie. Spencer loved riding on the elephant, and by the end thought it was normal and an everyday type of thing. He kept calling me and showing me he was riding without hands.
Feeding the elephants.
At the end of our ride we had pictures taken with our elephants.
Umm, and those trunks are STRONG!! She kept bringing it back to find food, but I wouldn't have any in my hand, so I had to use one hand to keep the trunk at bay (away from my face) and the other trying to get more food.
Spencer loving life!
See me pushing the trunk away??
Tyler and Miss Ellie, Tyler really enjoyed this activity also.
"Honey, what 'cha doin'?" "Just sitting on the elephants leg while feeding her, it's all good."
Ever seen the inside of an elephants mouth???
Now you have! :)

Family picture with Miss Ellie.
Spencer again LOVIN' LIFE!
Their tricks. Look at that foot being held up, posing.

K, the inside of the mouth is kinda gross. But, other than that, that would be a super cool experience. I like that you got to cuddle with them afterwards :)
