~ Snake Day ~
A local nature center had a snake day, so of course we had to go...we loaded the girls up in the car (quite a task in itself) and headed out, we only got lost once, well ok...two times. I had to stop for directions which proved to be a challenge. None of the 'locals' could speak English, so of course no one had a clue what we were looking for. Finally I went into a Furniture Store...the nice girl there printed a map off of google for me and we were off again. There were so many people there we had to park about a mile away and walk to the center....not so bad unless you are the one carrying a four year old who suddenly decides she has forgotten how to walk...overall everyone enjoyed the center. They made crafts, saw a turtle who had been through surgery (don't ask) and looked at all types of reptiles. Two of the girls even got a Bravery Certificate for touching a snake...I'm not gonna say who the chicken was..but I bet you can figure it out...P.S. the chicken is the big one :)
~ Tallulah Gorge ~
Last week we took a picnic to Tallulah Gorge and visited the nature center and went on a hike. Lucy is doing a science fair project on leaves, so we thought it would be the perfect time to try and identify them...not so. When you have huge cliffs around you, mixed with Lucy's non stop shanagians and Rosie wanting to pick up every rock she saw there is totally no time to ID trees! Don't worry about MissPriss though....she was a long way from the edges.
MissPriss: Please hurry you mean aunt & take the picture...I'm too close to that big hole
~ Nature at Home ~
We have lots of wildlife to see at home and at Nana & Papa's...over the last month we have held a baby squirrel, played with a baby snake, and captured a lizard. Thanks to the men for catching the creatures for us...none of whom were harmed in all the action!
