Friday at the Marina.

While waiting at the marina to catch our boat, The Pez Gato II, to go whale watching, this fellow was outside. We walked right past him and thought it was a statue until he moved.... Quite the spectacle. And, I must say.....much more impressive than the Hotel Entertainment Crew.

Yes, that is a baby African lion Travis is holding... Pretty cool huh? And below you'll see the cute little Jaguar I was holding... so soft and cuddly...all he wanted to do is take a nap. The gentleman at the booth with them said Im a "good Mommy..." He didn't move a muscle when I got up to put him back in his pen. For a $25.00 donation, you get your picture taken with these little cuties. Proceeds go to fund the wild life refuge here in Mexico someplace. Quite the experience. Before they put the babies in your lap, they tell you "Legs together, hold his tummy with one hand and his armpits with the other. They need to feel secure, or they may scratch/bite you." Seconds after this photo was taken of Travis, the baby lion started to slip between his legs. The lion is 3 months old and about 30#. Trav was a little nervous to move him too much, as this little girl liked to play....and she likes to bite on the things she plays with... You can see her trying to use his wrist as a teething toy. The baby Jaguar on the other hand was 2 months old and could barely keep his little eyes open... He just wanted a nap where someone was petting him and the Lion would quit sucking/biting on his tail! SUPERCUTIES! I did seriously ask Travis if I could have one..... He said no..... Usual answer!! ;o)

We're ready to come home! Getting ready now to head upstairs and pack! See you soon. We heard its snowing in Seattle this weekend.... Do what you can to get rid of that stuff for us, will ya?
