Baby Elephant Walk

Who doesn't love elephants? Elephants are awesome.  Husband for some reason doesn't think baby elephants are cute but this is just one of many ways he is wrong.  Perhaps he didn't watch Dumbo enough as a child? I don't know.

As a little Saturday happy place I figured I would share with you one last set of photos from Mum and Baby Brothers trip to Indonesia.  They spent a day in Bali before they flew out and went into the mountains to the Elephant sanctuary in Taro.  The elephants were rescued from Sumatra where they are threatened by deforestation and agriculture (they damage crops so farmers kill them).  At the park the only time they are tied in anyway is at meal time to keep them from taking each other's food.

The elephant with the flower crown drops it over people's heads!

If you took too long the elephant would just grab the food out of your hand.



Anyone else a little bit jealous?
