Horses and Tigers

Here is vacation pics, installment #1. I'm afraid most of the pics included my bro and sis-in-law so the options are limited. But there are still some good ones. After we picked them up at the airport, we drove down to Subic and went to the tiger safari again as well as rode horses to a little waterfall. The horse ride was about 1 hour long, part of it through jungle trails, and we all had a blast. Ben jabbered the whole way - "Big Horsey, BIG Horsey!"The kids looked adorable in the little riding hats we had to wear.
We walked to a little waterfall 1/2 way through the ride.
And we of course got to feed a baby tiger again.

The tiger safari part was great this time as the tigers were pretty hungry and playful. It got especially exciting when our guide got the chicken-on-a-string that he was feeding to the tigers stuck under the vehicle. So, he proceded to very nervously open the door to get it unstuck. I don't know that we would have been too concerned about it - except he was obviously VERY concerned. Quite the adventure. Thankfully none of the tigers were too close by...

Next installment: our visit to the WWII historic island, Corregidor.

Wow-it sure looks like you had a great time-horses, lions, tigers-what, no bears? Love the little hats and since Zach and Ben are starting to look SO MUCH alike. Thanks for the updates!
