Clarence's new trick

While the rest of the country is sweating it out, Michigan is enjoying temps in the 80's as of late. This means that outdoor activities are a must! Lately we've gone on picnics with friends, gone swimming at the local lakes, enjoyed cookouts and have taken part in many ice cream runs :)

Also we recently helped out at a local outdoor event at the park. Through The ROCK, an organization that ministers to local youth, Sandra and I had the opportunity to give back a bit. We helped run some of the inflatable climbing equipment and helped with the offering during the concert. The concert featured artists: The Turning, Rush of Fools, and Todd Agnew. King of Kings Skateboard Ministries was also there, but we missed out on seeing them.

Our pal Clarence has also had some fun. We bought him a "U-tube" to place on top of his cage. It took him a while to figure it out, or maybe it really was us who had to figure it out. It seems that Clarence won't use it unless we put a treat at the top of it. We usually use a banana chip, one of his favs. It's pretty incredible to see. I wish I could climb verticle inclines! Anyways, watch the video and you'll see what I mean :)
