This was a very fun trip!  What a lot of different types of animals that you'd never expect in the middle of Mendon!  The Deer Forest was a big hit-being able to walk into the enclosure and be up close to that many deer!  But our favorite part of the day, by far, was the elephant ride!  Being able to actually touch such a huge animal, and feeling how gentle they were as we rode, was fantastic!  We still talk about it, months later!  There were also some amusement-park type rides, but we managed to skip most of them (being more interested in the animals).  Lunch was pretty expensive, so I'd pack a picnic.  A fun day!
