Meeting Mike the Tiger
We visited all of the grandparents last week, first in Natchez, then in Lafayette. On our way home from Lafayette we stopped at LSU and visited Mike the Tiger. Although we visited the Tiger Cage a year ago after Mike V died, we hadn't met Mike VI. Boy did he put on a show for us! When we first walked up he was pacing in the grass. Though he didn't give us a full-out roar, he gave us a grumble that just about made Jack jump out of my arms. After roaming the grass and rocks, he got in the water and played with his big ball. It was amazing! As we moved around the outside of the cage, he followed us! Either he really liked Jack's bright yellow shirt or he wanted to have us for breakfast! Take a minute to watch the slideshow above for some of what we saw. (But, the pics really don't do it justice!)
