Lions, Tigers, & Bears, Oh My!

So, did you guess correctly about our fantastic day trip?

We visited Lions, Tigers, and Bears with sister, MAA, AEA, cousin, and her two little amazing Indians. L, T, & B is a facility in Arcadia for injured or unwanted animals....lions, tigers, panthers, skunks, raccoon things, a coyote, a wolf-dog hybrid, a 16 foot python, chickens, emus, parrots, fat rabbits, peacocks, a crazy baboon thing with an ugly backside, a leopard, a bobcat, a black bear, and several other random animals. One could call the setup ghetto since all of the aforementioned animals are located in cages strewed around the owner's front yard. Yes, these are all at their house. Regardless of the first impression, it was super fun! No lines, no crowds, close to the cages, personal tour by the owner, and perfect length for my little person!

"ROARRRRRRRRR!"

"Aa aaa chooo!"

(Seriously! She pretends to sneeze and it is the cutest sneeze you have ever seen!)

We then went back to Coley's house for a tasty lunch, adult conversation, outdoor fun in the sun, chicken observing, turns on the zip line, tricycle riding, delicious Florida peach eating and peach picking!!!
Needless to say, my little animal was asleep within 2 minutes of being buckled in.
Another step towards my LOVE for that little town and simplicity in life...

Rea looks absolutely adorable! What cute mannerisms.
Also, "Another step towards my LOVE for that little town." Are you going to move on me? I don't want to relocate my hubby and me only to find you moved! Keep us in the loop, will ya?

so cute Beck...such a fun day. LOVE your blog and, while I'm commenting, you are a total DORK for dressing your sweet little lady in such outfits for bed! I do have to say though that Brady can certainly put together some fantastic outfits on his own and I choose not to pick that particular fight most days so I let him wear his creations all over town!! Wait until she starts wanting to dress herself...it's adorable! She will look like Punky Brewster before long!
