Going to the Zoo...







We had a great time at the Tallahassee Museum (a.k.a. "the zoo") today. Perfect Florida weather ... sunny, but the kids (and Emily Smith who came along) had to wear light jackets. This is a welcome change, as it's been very humid since Christmas. This is our favorite time of year to go to the zoo, because you can see everything in one morning, have time for the playground ... and we can even make an animal encounter (which is often not possible on other days when we jet over between preschool and Tyler's nap). Today, the kids got to meet an Eastern Indigo Snake. Tyler was all about petting him, and reminded me of the rule for doing so ("two fingers!") the rest of the afternoon. This was not really necessary though, as I am just the photographer when it comes to animal encounters (at the Tallahassee Museum or on the farm)! We also got to see "Lucky" the duck ... the duck who attracted national attention earlier this year when she survived a gun wound, encounter with a dog, and two days in the frig! True story...
