BIG fun in Big Bear

We had some Big fun in Big Bear over the weekend.. the weather was perfect and we all had a great time! 

saw this beauty walking into the zoo.. one of my faves!

Kestrels are so beautiful

this is pooh bear.. apparently he caused a lot of havoc at a honey farm 

this is a Tegu, a lizard native to Argentina. I would freak if I saw this in my garden

Here's Noelle.. Heather adopted her last year and was happy to see she was still doing good 

Noelle and Heather were happy to see each other 

Coyotes aren't rare for us to see but these guys were putting on a show.. the were howling and jumping around.. must have been dinner time 

the tortoise came out to say hello

its amazing to be able to see these magnificent creatures so close. The sounded amazing when they were "talking" 

the snow leopards, Asha and Shanti were out and we were soooo excited. Heather loves the big cats and this just made her day! This trip she adopted Asha. 

They are sisters and both have an eye disease causing them to lose their right eye but other than that, they are happy and healthy  

Our girls! :) curled up by a toasty warm fire

stopped by Johnson Valley on our way home 

just love these two! 

yes, the pup has her tongue curled to make a cup to drink water.. that tongue!!! LOL 

We had an amazing mini-cation and now are refreshed and ready for school to start :)
