Shelby and a brass pig

We don't know the story behind the pig but it made for a cute pic. I
know what you are thinking "Did they leave Luke somewhere?". He is
alive and well and he doesn't like posing for a pictures as much as
Shelby.

Fish market

Hello from Seattle

time watching the fish be tossed. Martin

Shelby and Jessica petting a pather

Here we are at the worlds largest petting zoo in southern Oregon. We
got to pet a African lion cub, pather and hold a 3 week old cougar
cub. We fed deer, lamas, donkeys, billy goats and turkeys too. It was
a really neat experience.

Sky Trail in Trees of Mystery

Here we are riding the gondola above the redwoods. It gave us a
different perspective and a fun ride! It was foggy at the top but we
could see the ocean in the distance. This was our last redwood
encounter....on to Oregon.
