For the end of the year party for Speech this year Alex's teacher hired the "Lizard Wizard" to come show the kids some cool animals. It was something else! He had a bunch of turtles, some frogs, small snakes, a couple of gekkos, a huge tarantula (eek), hissing cockroaches (blah), a baby alligator (Alex's favorite!!!), millipeds (those are gross too)... a few others and a giant boa constrictor (where is the darn spell check? lol).
It was crazy, Alex squeeled the whole time and even helped hold the giant snake! He was so proud and kept stroking the snake, no fear I tell you. I kept squirming when the spider and cockroaches were out, they were quite close. The kids got to pet the animals after and ooh did that freak me out but they sure loved it! I would definitely recommend it, although I'd rather just take photos than touch them! Eww! lol. It was a lot of fun though.
This is that horrible tarantula in case you missed that, this kid was nervous to hold it and I don't blame him! Eek!
This one is so funny, the boy next to Alex kept talking about it but refused to touch it. Alex *loved* that snake. Oh boy, it took 10 kids to hold it!
No fear I tell you! That freaks me out! Not only do those snakes look like they can bite but look at the yellow one sneaking out of the box next to Ariana's arm... stinker snake!
Okay, I'll stop freaking everyone out. I have a bunch more though. Ariana loved the turtles the most and Alex loved that baby Aligator (he insists it was a crocodile though). Oh well right? It was fun...

Holy cow! That's creepy. I can't believe your kids love touching them.
I am actually a bit of a reptile lover. No rattle snakes though! I love your son's enthusiasm. Joy school sounds like fun, although I don't know if my little Violet is ready yet. She has a little bit of an attention problem. Zach will be going into kindergarten this August, so I'm not sure when you would want to do it. I definitely think Violet will be ready next year. Your mom told me it was a bit expensive though..
They seem to have fun, that's really important, Look at
Alex face, he looks so proud!!, LOL.
I can't believe you even stayed there and took pictures! I think I would have just left the room...but then I'm a wimp. You sure have brave kids.
