Ecomuseum Sleepover - Amazing experience!

I was lucky enough to accompany Darcy and some her Girl Guide unit to the Ecomuseum for a private nighttime tour and a sleepover.

Preparing for our nighttime tour. There are not pictures as it was DARK. The only light was from the the flashlight at the front of the line and the flashlight at the back of the line. We saw many nocturnal animals including raccoons, skunks, foxes, porcupines, owls and much more.

Even the bathroom have animals!

What an amazing way to spend the first hours of Mother’s Day: waking up with some terrific Girl Guides and Guiders at the Ecomuseum and a private tour! The highlight was watching the otters wake up!

We got to wake up the otters and watch them stretch and be goofy! LOVE LOVE LOVE

March 5, 2012 : Exotarium

Today Cameron, Darcy and I went to Exotarium. It was really neat and not too expensive. If you live in the area it is worth a visit!

Cameron touched the skink and the tarantula!
He was soooo afraid to touch the tarantula, but he did it!!!

Darcy touched the skink, but not the tarantula.

Cameron and I both held the Ball Python. Darcy touched it.

Is that the Geico Gecko?

Monitor

Turtles

Iguana

After Darcy looked and looked at this snake, I saw the sign saying not to disturb it..oops!
Apparently it strikes at the glass and has hurt itself.

Bearded Dragon

Tortoises

After the Exotarium I took the kids out for lunch.
Eating out is so rare for us, I took a picture to prove that it does happen!
