Lions and Tigers and Bears (of the stuffed variety) - oh my!













A couple of Sundays ago, we took advantage of the lovely weather and spent the day playing in the sand at Jordan Lake, eating lunch at the Carolina Brewery in Pittsboro and then meeting up with our friends Caroline, Matt and the adorable Ms G. to tour the Carolina Tiger Rescue: http://www.carolinatigerrescue.org/ Lately, one of Luci's favorite games to play has been 'tiger' -this basically consists of either Mommy, Daddy or Luci pretending to be a tiger (growling required) and chasing the others until they hide in a "cave", aka under the covers on Mommy and Daddy's bed. So I thought Luci would really enjoy getting to see some real tigers. And this place is incredible - I don't know if I've ever seen a tiger up close before, but I was totally amazed at freaking huge they are. In addition to tigers, they have lions, servals, ocelots & binturongs. Luci really liked seeing the animals and I think she got a healthy dose of fear/respect for some of these big cats. To round out the title of this post, below is another of Luci's favorite games, Train - the middle passenger is Snow Bear, from Kai's childhood days.
