Cabo 2014 and Sophie

This year was the first time in 5 years that Dave and I were able to return to Cabo Mexico for a relaxing vacation alone.  So the week of Mother's Day, we made our way south.  We did a nice dinner cruise, visited town, sat on the beach, (those who saw the face book picture can attest to that lovely serene post),  swam and ate way too much food.  And of course Dave let me visit the Cub 4 Help exhibit.  Every trip I love to visit with the babies, have my photo taken, and we make a donation for this worthwhile animal sanctuary.  So, now I introduce you to my newest friend - Sophie,

Sophie is a 3 month old lion.  She and her sister were so adorable, very long and heavy for their size.  Right after this photo was snapped, she let us loudly know that she was thirsty, so they gave me a bottle of cool water and let me feed her.  She immediately rolled over on her back and put her paws on the bottle looked into my eyes while drinking from the bottle as if to say, (thank you, I really needed this).  There was so much love in this little girl at this time in her life.  I just wanted to wrap her in my arms and take her home.  But back to the protection of the sanctuary she must go when she is old enough.  I wish we would have gotten a photo of her drinking from the baby bottle in my arms.

This year that is the only photo I am going to post of Cabo.  As you go about your summer remember, if you can do some small good thing somewhere - do it.
