A Review of Arbuckle Wilderness in Oklahoma

Holly’s sKoop: An afternoon at Arbuckle Wilderness

by Holly Duenas

Our family is a HUGE fan of America’s Funniest Home Videos. My husband especially….he loves laughing at other people’s misfortunes. He’s sweet like that.  And I believe my kids have inherited his sense of humor as well. I hear them laughing nonstop during this television show. We’ve noticed that almost every episode of AFV has a family driving through one of those drive-thru safari experiences where someone’s face almost gets pecked off by an ostrich or a hand gets chomped by a zebra. So we thought, hey, let’s go do that! Heck, we might even win $100,000 someday with a funny video we submit to AFV. Okay, maybe not.
