They all enjoyed the various animals and at the end she even let my 10 month old hop on for a short and safe distance and he LOVED it! Seeing all my boys light up and immerse themselves with the animals brought us such joy! Jennifer is awesome and we will certainly be coming back!!

But now we won't have any. Instead we've now removed "the middleman" and will be scheduling with these "adventure" companies directly.
