Kadence has been reading another book about the horse Blaze and his adventures. This book has been his favorite and I am sure we have read it at least ten times this last week. It is a story about how Billy and his horse save a calf from a Mountain Lion and then receive a reward for helping the rancher find the Mountain Lion to shoot.
and then today an exciting thing happened.... our friend Craig Morgan shot a huge Mountain Lion on his ranch. So Kadence got to see his first Mountain Lion up close! Talk about perfect timing and making a little boys day...although when he got up close he was kinda nervous and said the teeth scared him. He was fine petting the long tail though.
I found this picture from National Geographic along with the following stats just for fun. It really is a large animal and those claws are kinda scary to see up close.
