Kangaroo Creek Farm

We took the folks out on a quick road trip out to Kelowna this weekend. You know, that place in the Okanagan with all the kangaroos. Say whaaaaat? Yeah, aside from endless wineries and fruit orchards, there's also an awesome little place called Kangaroo Creek Farm just north of Kelowna. When Anita told me we were going to visit a "kangaroo farm," I mistakenly assumed it would be like a cattle farm, where you could see animals being raised under humane conditions... to be slaughtered for food. Turns out it was more like an animal sanctuary where they had numerous kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, giant cute rodents from South America, and other exotic birds and mammals for you to interact with. Good thing I had enough sense not to ask where the freezer full of 'roo meat for sale was, even though I was tempted to as a joke in bad taste.


I haven't seen my dad enjoy himself this much in ... well pretty much ever.
