Guess what we did yesterday! We (as in my family and Cathy's family, minus our husbands) went to the library's Summer Reading Kickoff. It was themed, "Catch the Reading Bug" and it featured Bruce the Bug Guy! Also featured were large moths, hissing cockroaches, gigantic millipedes, fuzzy tarantulas, nasty scorpions, little caterpillars ... yeah - a bunch of LOVELY little animals!
Serena with a big moth. She showed NO fear with these huge bugs! A few weeks ago there was a tiny gnat on her and she freaked out, so that was amazing to see!
It had some huge grabby legs!
Here is Paige with a hissing cockroach! She was VERY brave to hold that nasty thing! I did not even consider holding this one.
Here they passed some tarantulas and scorpions around ... I suppose it's safe to hold them in a cage!
Yeah, this is me. LOL! The look on my face says it all. But I did it! I held Rosie the Rose Haired Tarantula. And apparently Maria held her as well!
Once again, no fear from Serena! I tell ya, those tarantulas are SO COOL! Their legs are so soft and gentle as they walk on you. I suppose their fangs wouldn't be so gentle but this particular tarantula was a nice one. I would hope so, since Bruce the Bug Guy was letting everyone hold it for a minute! Yes, it was a fun and buggy day overall. |
