Extreme Tuesday Part Two

Tuesday was a great day! It was Eddie's 2nd day of Kido Camp. We were running a bit late but managed to drop him off on time... just no extra time to run around in the gym as we did on Monday. Kevin was very upset that he didn't get to play basketball. After we dropped Eddie off, we hit the highway and headed up north to the Stone Zoo where we met up with some friends. We had a great time. Kevin and Ryan loved seeing the animals... we had lunch there and headed home for naps. Kevin was very upset that they did not have a horse there. I promised we'd find a horse farm on the way home but they were both asleep in no time. Another day we will visit the horse farm. Actually near Grandma's house is a horse farm for retired horses... sort of a nursing home for horses. We'll have to plan on paying a visit there next time we are in PA. I did not have my camera with me at the zoo so no pictures...

After Kevin and Ryan woke up from their naps, we picked Eddie up and headed to the library for the "Extreme Reptile" show... it's put on by a family of homeschooled kids (The Pensen Family) who do an awesome job. This was our 3rd time seeing them and it was really great!

Kevin really enjoyed holding ALL of the animals... or at least he WANTED to hold all of the animals including the tarantulas. Fortunately, they limit the number of animals that can be handled... Kevin and Ryan did PAT the tarantulas though! Can you imagine?

Here's the part of the show where they pretend they can't find the tarantula... (You'll notice it is on the back of the boy with the red shirt)... the kids go crazy yelling that it's on his shirt, and the Pensen kids can't find it. It's pretty fun! Notice Eddie covering his ears because it's SO loud (all the kids yelling and pointing out where the tarantula is)...


Here's Dominic Pensen showing off one of the family's many pets:

It was a good day! After the libary, we came home and I got ready for work and made dinner. After dinner, Ed took Eddie to his last night of track.

Here's Eddie "running the race" (as Kevin and Ryan like to call it)...
