tigers

You can click that screenshot to see the page, it's really cool.

Currently recovering from a 9-day vacation with a hyper 8 year old, and believe me, that is a pretty big challenge when it rains every single day. She burnt out on indoor swim really fast even though she loves swimming. We stayed pretty busy working on painting projects, beading, a hot glue build that took nearly a whole day, cooking, garden and chicken chores (gathering eggs is fun when the eggs are all different colors), and I started a crochet top. There was more but I'm still fairly brain fried. The best part came at the very end when the rain stopped long enough to get a feeding tour at the National Tiger Sanctuary. Kiddo ran the phone camera, so these are her shots. Most of her vids were too long to get from their phone to mine, so all you get is the shorter stuff. It was really cool and you don't get all the kinds of bigcats there.

Several years ago one of the tigers near us escaped but was easily picked up later, but for a few hours it was really amusing thinking of a tiger walking around the state forest between our house and the sanctuary. 😂🐯

I guess there's a nationwide problem with pay to play pix of your kids with tiger cubs because tigers are being bred for money schemes that fall apart when the tigers die from neglected healthcare or cash income can't keep up with feeding them. There are tiger sanctuaries across several states rescuing abandoned or abused big cats.
