Pictures

Here are some pics of our recent outing to Bush Wildlife. It's like a zoo but they rehab hurt and abandoned local wildlife and it's free. We sat for an animal encounter and the kids got to touch some animals. Very fun! But first a few pics from our recent Orlando trip. We stopped for a visit at Disney and rode the monorail and took some pics outside the gate but we did not go in. The kids aren't ready yet, maybe next year!=)





Jadon waking up happy from his nap, this is new for us.;)





Here the boys are petting a baby croc. Or was is a gator??


This is an albino corn snake. Pretty as far as snakes go.;)


Here Roman is petting an opossum. He was very soft and oddly cute. His googly eyes remind me of my Grommit.;))



This is a young skunk. The scent glands were removed so no chance of being sprayed. She was super soft and so cute!



This owl is the last animal we saw at the encounter. I was glad we got to see and hear about it because for some reason Roman has been afraid them. The lady had him flap his wings and it was absolutely silent. This is how they are such adept hunters. Their heads only rotate 180 degrees, not 360. They are really cool birds and I don't think Roman is afraid of them anymore.

Other than the animals we saw at the encounter, we saw an albino raccoon (very cool), mountain lions, various birds, foxes, deer and various snake species. I had my own personal animal encounter with an ornery parrot. He was not in a cage but able to walk about freely. He was very interested in biting my diaper bag. Here's a pic of the crazy little guy.

What a tease showing them Disney, totally understandable though.

All the animals look great. Glad Roman overcame his fear of the owls.
