Ellie and the Lions

Ellie and the Lions. They really bonded or the lion tried to eat her, one or the other! Ellie really seemed to like them. She was a happy little girl, excited to see lions up close. We were the only ones in the inside lion viewing area. Ellie seemed pretty interested so I let her watch them through the glass all by herself standing up. She was bout five feet away from us, standing up against the glass for awhile. Then, all of a sudden, a lion jumped up from where it was sleeping and ran over to where Ellie was standing and pounced on the glass. She let out a little cry of fright, but she didn't really start to cry. I ran over to her thinking she was going to start screaming her head off, but she just stayed there. And then we got the rest on film...enjoy!
