These past few weeks, we've been plagued with gross weather and sickness. Ella and Claira had strep, Nora had the flu, Daddy and I have had a couple of rounds with a stomach bug, and I developed the shingles. Ugh!! SO, when we woke up last Sunday morning and no one had a fever AND the sun was shining, we knew it was time to get out of the house!!! :) We rolled out of bed, ate breakfast, and headed out the the Cochran Mill Nature Center :)
Feels good to be fever-free!!
Checking out the baby alligators:
Watching the snakes:
Clairy was NOT a fan of the serpents:
Ella was not a fan, either.....look at that face....her Daddy's child :)
Clairy WAS a fan of the turtles, however, and kept playing with the turtle shells:
Nora was fascinated by the large turtle that had a cold. She watched and talked with the animal specialist as she treated him. She said, "Mommy, did you know that turtles can blow snot rockets just like people?!?!" Um, gross. But no, I did not know that!!
The girls really liked this lizard (it changed colors - so cool!), so the sweet lady invited the girls back to "pet" the lizard after she treated the snotty turtle :)
So, we headed out on a nature walk to give Snotty Turtle time to have his treatment :)
Bumps on a log :)
Feeding the fish :)
This little turtle ran all the fish off - he was "HANGRY!!"
"Oh, no!! All my fish food is gone!!" Well, Claira, let's not dump it all out at once and throw it at the turtle!! :)
She got over her fit when daddy made her "fly." SUPERGIRL!!
Just the sweetest little family ever. I'm blessed with so much sweetness:
Nora was born to perform....and photo-bomb!!!
Heading back in to pet the color-changing lizard!! So neat!!
I'll leave you with a family-selfie that are very few and far between :)
Cheers to fever-free days of love and lizards!!!
