Zoobic Safari!
We returned home today after a very fun day at a zoo safari in a town just about 3 hours from Manila. We were celebrating Father's Day a week late and had a great time! Davis, Dan, Aunt Sarah and I headed out and had a great adventure!
We were even able to take a picture with a young Bengal tiger. Davis and I wore our Auburn shirts in honor of our favorite mascot. Go Tigers!

In the park you are able to have a "close encounter" with the tigers. We fed them a chicken through a little window in our jeepney (well, a "chicken handler" did!) Davis did so great-- we thought he might be scared, but he loves animals and loved the tigers!
As well as tigers we saw many other animals. Here Davis is nose to nose with Mr. Camel!
Sarah is one of our best friends in the Philippines. She is Aunt Sarah to Davis and we were so glad that she was able to come on this trip!
Everywhere we go Davis meets so many friends. One of the ladies in our tour group asked if she could take a picture with Davis. He didn't mind! I think that one thing I am going to miss when we move back to the USA is that Davis won't quite be the center of attention that he is anywhere we go. :) Here in Manila everyone talks to him, smiles at him, and loves him. He is such a content, happy baby!
After a day at the zoo, our little guy was very tired! He was a trouper though!

oh my gosh, he is just so beautiful! I think Davis will still get plenty of attention when he gets back here to the US! (you guys might both get a little, too!)
I've seen others' pics of that tour, but never got to go on it. Looks fun! :) I love seeing pics of your boy, too. - Sarah B
Some people have asked if the tiger sitting in my lap is real. The answer is YES. He was about the size of a large dog. The brochure said that you could have your picture taken with a tiger cub. I guess "cub" means "not fully grown".
If you click on the picture, you can see that I'm holding a bottle in my left hand which is keeping the tiger's attention. As soon as that bottle ran out, the handler made us move out pretty quickly!
