Call It What You Want...

There are a lot more cute pictures from our trip -- which is quickly fading into the past -- and so here are some animal-related highlights from the trip!

Adam rides the horse at Grandma and Grandpa's. Does the horse have a name? We asked him. He told us its name is Caleb. (That's one of his friends from school.)

We went off to the Bramble Park Zoo (Watertown's own) for a chilly visit. Believe this or not, the tiger was just as close to the small boy at this point as the goats were. (Just the tiger had a rather more substantial barrier.) The animals were all quite active due to the cool weather...no lounging lizards there...

Mark compares his wingspan to that of the large birds of prey. It's a little hard to see the grimace. Raaaaah!

These are not necessarily wild animals, but they did forage for their own food. Here they are with apples they picked themselves off the tree at the Stormos'. Yum!

And, finally, this is Adam having a moment with Jo, the Vrzals' rabbit in Sheboygan. Jo is very friendly, and as long and children stay still, she'll come over and check them out. Mark wasn't so interested, but Adam was. Here, he shares a NASCAR car with her. I'm not sure if she was wholly grateful, but she indulged him by looking. Such a good rabbit.

This concludes Animal Adventures. Join us next time for a jaw-dropping display of "When Sherrill Critters Go Bad..." (Maybe not).
