Sri Lanka part 2- animals!





If beach time wasn't our favorite pastime then looking for animals was! We saw little critters everywhere!-  from the bright red caterpiller "don't eat that mom!", to the monkeys on the roof. here is a sample:

Little mr. turtle is about the cutest thing ever.



On the way to Yala- not technically an animal... but that was the biggest buddha I had ever seen-(it's 3 stories tall!)
He's thinking- I haven't had bacon in a loooong time- c'mere pig


eagle eyes and binocular girl


and right as we were driving out who should appear?


On the way to snorkel- luca in a straightjacket- pretty sure he can breathe- just can't bend


okay- no animals but what a sweet little family
We were asked if we wanted to visit a snake farm-"sure, that sounds like fun"....

The place was run by a doctor who made antivenom- he would just go in a shed, bring out a snake, and plop it on the ground by your feet.

this was the angry cobra he caught 2 days prior- look at the clueless guy in the blue who isn't backing up
as soon as he brought out the nonpoisonous snakes he started to put them on our heads for "good pictures!" but I think he really did it to make himself crack up
okay I'm done -someone take this off me please...please!

mosquitos on the outside. (and proof brother and sister do actually get along)

  1. Ha! I have that same football jersey that Luka's wearing the the turtle picture.

    Thanksgiving is less than a week away, as I'm sure you figured out. Today Vail Mountain opened their slopes to the general public. You can see all the tracks from people who've hiked up. There were a lot of folks standing at the TOV bus stops with skis and snowboards in hand. A few conspicuously missing children as well. Holiday Well!
