Tiger Kingdom, Take 2

So, we finally got Evie back out to Tiger Kingdom.  It was a birthday present from Aunt Jeni and Uncle Dwayne, but it's been over two months since her birthday!  Better late than never.

We bought the tickets for Evie and I, and were taken out to the cage.  The Tiger cubs Cory and Winnie played with back in July were much bigger now!  One look and I was scared!  There was no way Evie and I were going into that cage without Cory there to protect us!  So, we apologized and asked if we could go back to the desk and pay the extra money to play with the newborn tigers instead.  These little cubs were more what we had in mind.   

The look on Evie's face says it all. She was not convinced that this was a smart idea! We had fifteen minutes to be in the room, but Evie lasted about 5.  After that she stood outside the door while I stayed in with the tigers.   There were 6 tiger cubs in the room.  I liked the sleeping ones, not the playful ones that were nipping at clothes and hands.

I have to admit, I look calm and snuggly in this picture, but my heart was racing a bit!
