spring days

It was a beautiful day here so Luca and I took this morning to head over to the beach and play in the sand with a new friend.  Many castles were built and destroyed, cars and tractors crashed and balls thrown.  Then over to the spillway for a little fishing with daddy followed by lunch and flower shopping with momma. 

After nap we followed Mike and papa over while they worked on the tractor and Luca got a horse ride out of the deal.  I think Mr. Russ has a soft spot for Luca since he even broke out the saddle to complete Luca's cowboy horse ride.

it's a jungle out there

Last month we got a chance to go with some friends out to the sale barn in town for an exotic sale.   We all had a great time.  We got to see the animals so close, Luca even got to pet the giraffe, Zach.  Zach was for sale, he's one of the giraffes from the movie Evan Almighty.  We saw all sorts of animals, Luca pet a baby bear cub and a pigmy marmoset grabbed my hand.  



 

The biggest hit of the day though was this sweet baby camel.  Luca was nervous to touch him at first but once he let that little baby suck on his finger he thought it was great.  The camel even kissed him on the face.  I tried to convince Mike that we have enough room for a couple little camels but no luck

...yet...next sale is in July!
