Lions and Tigers and Bears...OH MY!

So last Saturday, I finally got to take Evan to Tiger World.  One of my law school buddies, Melissa, and her husband adopt a tiger and have really had some neat experiences at this place.  I talked Melissa into enduring a wonderful day with my little man and his cousin and giving us a personal tour of the facility.  I think she enjoyed the day although it was very hot, and she is prego.  Yay for her little one on the way!  This is her first baby of the human variety!  :o)

Here are some cool pictures of our fabulous day with the animals:
