We were lucky enough to have breakfast in the reptile house at the zoo this weekend. While I may not enjoy dining among snakes and lizards, the girls and Sean certainly did! The girls were brave and touched everything that was brought out for them to experience. Thus, they got to pet a bearded dragon, a snake and a baby komodo dragon. They were thrilled. There was also crafts and face painting. Annabeth got a flower painted on her hand. Savannah, who refused at first, got a butterfly and a flower on her hands. It was a great morning that will not easily be forgotten.
Annabeth really liked this turtle. She kept coming back to it.
The bearded dragon, or was it a bearded lizard? I don't know. His name was Velcro because he apparently feels like Velcro, not that I would know.
I'm actually amazed I was able to take this picture without hyperventilating or having a nervous breakdown. It is amazing what we can do for our kids. I was determined not to show them how scared I was of that tiny snake.
Ms. Baby Komodo Dragon did not really want to be manhandled. She kept crawling up the keeper. Did I mention her nails are over an inch long?
Savannah was fascinated by her.
Annabeth getting in on the action.
Savannah petted the dragon and then she moved suddenly. Causing her to jump back in the picture below. It was so funny.
