• They live in an animal park!
• They’re a big, diverse family that includes children with special needs.
• They follow Christ no matter the trials.
• . . . and did we mention all the animals running around?

A massive mess, a leopard on the loose, and the arrival of new lifeit’s just another day in the life of the Mulligans.

Neither Michael nor Traci Mulligan had intended to have such a large family, let alone such a diverse one. But God had other plans. After their second child, Lisa, was born blind, they began to see their gift for reaching out, connecting, and laughing with special children with special needsall while raising their family among the many creatures living at the animal park that they operate.

Are there trials? You bet. There’s no way to keep the boat from rocking with so many children from such diverse backgrounds living in such an incredible environment. But their faith in Christ, commitment to one another, and ability to laugh at themselves keep them digging in to make it work.
