The Wilds



Today we visited The Wilds near Cumberland, OH. The Wilds is a private, non-profit conservation center located on nearly 10,000 acres of reclaimed mine land in rural southeastern Ohio. We got up close to wild horses, camel, donkeys, cheetah, wild African dogs, giraffe, rhino, zebra and deer. This beautiful place is a wonderful location to view the animals in a more natural environment. Afterwards we had lunch at the Outlook Cafe which overlooks one of the beautiful lakes.

Little Helper


The other day we were weeding and mulching outside in the yard. Alex was happy to follow along by helping with his own little shovel and rake. When it came time to spread the mulch, he got a little confused and would pick up a handful of mulch and throw it into the trash pile. Our little helper!
