I was so excited that my son was going to visit, I started making lists of things I wanted him to see and places I wanted him to eat. When I asked him what he wanted to do while he was here, he said he wanted to see wild animals. Hmmm, the issue with wild animals is that they’re wild and you can’t predict where you’ll see them. I did my best to find those opportunities.
