Julianne turns 12!

For Julianne's 12th birthday, we headed to the West Coast Game Park near Bandon. It's always a fun place to go, especially for an animal lover like Julianne. Rod was visiting, so he joined us, and Mom & Dad also met us there along with Yola, who was staying with them.

Julianne thought this sweet donkey was very cute.

A handler got out a lynx for us to pet. It's hard to see in this picture, but his paws were enormous. The strength and beauty of these big cats are amazing.

This baby cougar is quite tame, but with such sharp teeth and claws, even play can be dangerous. His handler had a toy for him to play with while the guests took turns petting him.
