Today we went to the Savannah River Ecology Lab where they sponsored "Touch An Animal" day. The kids got to check out lots of different bugs, reptiles, and other animals. The rule was to only touch the animals using two fingers. As you can see if you look closely, Jack was a firm follower of that rule! None of them wanted to touch the rattle snake, which was pretty creepy with that crazy tail rattling in our faces, so I don't blame them. They also were somewhat afraid of the duck, which makes no sense to me, but they seemed to have fun with everything else.
Looking at bugs and spiders.
This is as close as Anna got to the rattlesnake.
That's a tortoise in the bucket and the girl who's not a child of mine is holding a turtle.
This is a very teeny, tiny alligator.
Scarlet King Snake
There was a hawk, but they were only allowed to look at him. Jack did get to hold one of these feet, which I think it pretty gross seeing as it's not attached to an animal!
