Throwing Rocks and the Animal Ark

A couple of weekends ago we were able to go down to the river to throw rocks (which is one of Lucas' favorite things to do) and we also went to the Animal Ark which is an animal sanctuary north of Reno.



These 2 pictures are of Lucas "walking" Bentley on the way to throw rocks. In all reality if was more Bentley walking Lucas. :)

Here is Lucas showing you the really big rock he is going to throw into the river.

Here are my two boys. You can tell how much Lucas likes it because he is actually smiling for the picture. He is usually Mr. Stoic.



Just a few pictures of the action.


These are from the playground at the Animal Ark. It was the first time he went down one of the twisty slides. Usually he will get to the top and chicken out but maybe he is getting more courageous. :)

Most of the animals at the sanctuary use to be used for TV or film so they aren't scared of people. They come right up to the glass which is nice because at zoos a lot of times Lucas couldn't see any of the animals.

Lucas feeding his face. :)

This is Lucas with a snow fox in the background. It was sooooo cold. Luckily we had brought Lucas' hat and gloves because he needed them.

This is Wayne and Lucas in front of the bear cage. This is one of the few animals Lucas was afraid of, I think just because it was so big and would come right up to the fence.

This is Lucas pointing at the white tiger that you can't see in the picture.

This is us taking a break on the hike up Mt. Everest to see the bears. (So maybe it wasn't that big a hill but at nine months pregnant I sure felt like Sir Edmund Hillary. :))
