Well wow oh wow!! I got to check playing with elephants off my bucket list! It was the most incredible thing I’ve ever done!
You should read my teammate Morgan’s blog about the whole experience because it’s hilarious and she’s awesome!

We got to feed the elephants bananas, hose them off with water, and be slightly slapped around by their ears and trunks if we didn’t feed them quick enough. We paired off and each got our own elephant to trek through the Thai jungle with coaxing them to follow us with sugar cane sticks! Mmmm!
We got to splatter mud on them, (and ourselves) although it might have been poop water.. well, no, it was definitely poop water but I’m trying to ignore that fact. And then hike down to a river and bathe them! Seriously… seriously… IT WAS AMAZING! Ahhhhhh.. Anyway, check out this little snippet video of our time with them!
(And bonus points to anyone who was there for the social media debacle surrounding the song in the video! haha!)
