Chestatee Wildlife Reserve

Each month the local newspaper publishes a magazine with "Things to Do with Children" in the local area. I had a chance to review it and found several places I thought would be great to take Cameron. This month the magazine featured a place called the Chestatee Wildlife Reserve that looked amazing (on paper). Cameron loves animals and we do too. So today after church we decided to take him.........

Okay all I can say is......REALLY..... Great concept, not so great execution. First of all it was in the middle of NO-WHERE. Secondly, the $25 that we paid for entrance into the zoo is supposed to go to food for the animals. However it looked like the animals had not eaten in WEEKS (see the camel as evidence)! Really, we saw a goat rummaging through a bucket (that should have had food in it) but the bucket was empty! All we could say was "poor goat".

I will say it was fun for Cameron to be so close to the animals but the animals really needed to be taken better care of. We can say we went and supported the cause but trust me when I tell you, we will not be returning to the Chestatee Wildlife Reserve. LOL!
