Hollywild Animal Park - Part 1

Hollywild is an animal park just outside of Greenville. The park was named "Hollywild" because it is home to lots of animals that were once in movies, commercials, or a circus. The kids and I went with Mrs. Barnett and Virginia. We had such a great time - we may have to go back before our South Carolina visit is over!

"Nana, what is this?"

"I think it is a cherry pitter."

"No Nana! I know what it is! It is a pogo stick for spiders. See, they stand right here and bounce. I better go find some cobwebs and put it where the spiders can find it."
