Alligators and Snakes and Spiders, Oh My!

The kids got to experience something really cool this week. The local shopping center, The Shops at Wiregrass, has a Kids Club where they have interesting activities for the kids each Wednesday. This week, it was the reptile guy. He had a lot of really interesting creatures including a 10-foot boa constrictor, a small alligator, lizards, a huge tarantula, and lots of other creepy, crawly things. The best part was that it was a "hands-on" exhibit. For those of you who know Miguel will know that he wasn't thrilled about this particular activity but the kids and I thought it was lots of fun. I have to say, though, that it was hard for me to get over my own fears in order to let the kids participate. The surprising part for me was that Sophia was a much more willing participant than Lucas.
