More From Jolly Old England

One of the most fun days we have ever had was spent at Woburn Safari Park. I have been many many times and Jacob has been once before but lily had never been and she was thrilled with the place. You drive your car around the park and the animals are roaming free. It gets a little nerve wrecking when Rhinos start heading straight towards your car but once you get into the monkey area it is nothing but side splitting fun. Jacob happened to have the video camera rolling when the first monkey jumped on our car.

We ended up with a total of 16 monkeys on our car and Lily was just as excited each time.

Another day we spent down at the river in a dinghy. This actual dinghy belonged to me when I was just a tyke. None of my cousins could believe it was still OK since we spent so many hours in it having rough fun. Thank you Uncle John for keeping it Lily loved it.
The temperature of the water was the same as the water here in the middle of our winter, needless to say we were frozen. I cannot believe that my little Florida boy of a hubby actually got in it.
