Movie News: Planes

Hi everyone,

I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of the new movie,  Planes this week.

If you liked Cars and Cars 2, this flick is for you.

Planes is about a crop-duster plane named Dusty who has never been far from the farm until he decides to compete in a race around the world.

All the best and fastest planes are racing and Dusty will have to train hard and fly higher than he ever has before. Did I mention that he is afraid of heights?

Take a look at the trailer below:

Planes flies into theatres today.

If you check it out, make sure to come back and let us know what you thought!

Cute Video of the Day!

Hi readers,

I just came across something so cute that I had to share.

It’s a baby pygmy slow loris! It sure looks like he’s enjoying his snack! I’d love to give him a good cuddle.

Enjoy!

Relax With Chirp!

Hi everyone,

Check out this great pic sent in by Chirp reader Allie Bea, 3. Who says you can’t read and take a dip in the pool at the same time? It looks like Allie knows exactly how to enjoy a hot summer day!

A Day at HorseCapades

Hi readers!

I just spent the day with some horses at HorseCapades. This family-friendly event is great because you can see horses up close, feed them, ask questions to horse experts, and much more!

If you live in the Toronto area, you should check it out. If you don’t live nearby, you can still join the fun by looking at the photos below!

Miniature horses

These miniature horses were adorable! Baby horses are called foals. This foal is sleeping soundly in front of its mom.

Another shot of the miniature horses!

I couldn’t get enough of these two. Mom was keeping a very close eye on her foal.

Goats

These goats were too cute to pass up! They were a little shy, at first though.

Feeding time!

This horse was enjoying some grass when I snapped this photo. Click here to see a video of this horse chowing down.

Brushing a horse!

This horse almost fell asleep while I brushed him. I could have done this all day long!

HorseCapades is running from July 28 to August 15 at the CNE in Toronto.

Have a great weekend!
