We've had quite a few good laughs about this today. You know the joke- Sloth Hiking Team. We will get there when we get there.
In February, Loretta went to the Amazon. Yes, THE Amazon. She even got to hold the baby sloth. The picture above is Mama.
The baby actually had enough energy to look slightly awake. Sloths sleep about 15 hours a day.
As if this wasn't funny enough, the candy wrapper from some chocolate we ate had sloth facts. They have the lowest metabolic rate of any mammal. They can fall 100 feet without getting hurt, and on average a sloth will fall out of a tree about once a week for its entire life. They move an average of 125 feet a day.
We took a small slothful walk of our own on the Ed Malkowski Nature Trail which was created by students at Mason County Central School. It needs maintenance badly, but we were able to follow it past the little pond.
One perk of our walk was ripe blackberries!
Other than that, I spent most of the day writing an article for Outdoors.com.

Wow, she went to the Amazon. It seems everyone is crazy about sloths these days. I honestly don't see the appeal. Of course I act like one on some days
Charlee: "Wow, it sounds like sloths sleep even more than we do."
Chaplin: "We've got to up our game, Charlee."
Oona: "SLEEP IS FOR GROWNUPS!!!"
Ann- she spent 10 years in Brazil (on the coast), but went back for a visit, and as part of that, she took an Amazon tour.
C&C- yup... the bar has been set high!
Oona- little demons never sleep, right?
