One of the main reasons we wanted to buy this house is because of the location. Our backyard abuts a beautiful, 90-acre park. Not only do we treasure the green space (and the fact that no one will ever build behind our house!), but I also love the fact that the park is the center of this wonderful community. They offer lots of programming for young and old. Every Sunday afternoon in the summer they run an entertainment program geared towards kids, and on the docket today was a visit from The Creature Teachers. The weather was absolutely gorgeous - 75 degrees and sunny!
Before the show started we enjoyed some handcrafted ice cream from the Crescent Ridge truck. Today it was oreo for Silas and vanilla for Zoe.
The performance space at the park is pretty awesome!
The Creature Teacher running today's show was very engaging and knowledgeable. All 3 of us learned a lot! We met Holly the Flying Squirrel, a milk snake, a box turtle, a porcupine named Otis, Vinny the woodchuck (he was our favorite - here he is eating a banana!),
And a snapping turtle.
In closing, here are a few fun facts we learned at the show today:
-Zoe: fishers eat porcupines!
-Silas: flying squirrels eat mushrooms!
-Mommy: box turtles live on land (not in the water like most turtles). Their shells have a hinge on the underside that allows them to turn into a box when threatened!
