Bee City

After starting the day with fresh donuts from the Summerville Farmer's Market, we went to Bee City. They have bees, honey and tons of honey-related products.  That's great and all, but my kids only care about petting zoos.  They give you food for the birds, monkeys and livestock type animals.

We started off with feeding the brown lemurs.  They are super cute and their little hands are adorable.


 "Tina, you fat lard.  Come get some dinner!"  
The girls both thought the llamas were cute.




 Chris was checking out some bulls.  Little ones.
 This goose was honking like crazy and Hannah chased it around honking back...she was actually more screaming at the goose, but still cute.
 Hannah really wanted to get in the pen with the turtles.
 Me and the girls
  
 I'm married to a Disney princess.
 Olivia looks a little alarmed.
 Now she looks terrified.
 Not sure about this....
 Ok, now she's into it.
 Hannah thought this little bird was cool. 
 Then this little guy (or girl) came and kept nibbling on Chris's ear.


 Hannah is deciding which bird she likes best.
 Yes.  This one.  I will eat this one.
 Let me grab it for you.
 Ummmm...mom?

 Fine.  I won't eat the birds.  They're full of little bones anyway.
 They had a huge frog.  HUUUUGEE!
 Baby alligator.
 The handler even made it smile for the picture.

 "Tarantulas aren't scary.  They get a bad wrap.  Would you like to hold it?
 We'll just start with one leg....Now two...Now three...
 See...not scary at all."


 I decided to give it a try.  Time to conquer that pesky arachnophobia. Olivia is waiting for me to faint.
 Ok.  You can have this back now.  I can say that tarantulas aren't terrifying...in a completely controlled environment. 
 Chris held Charlotte too.  Yes, that's actually her name.
 Hannah isn't having anything to do with it.
 Then the handler showed us an emperor scorpion.  They are luminescent under UV light.  How cool is that?

 We'll end with a super cute picture of Hannah at the turtle playground.
 So much fun!!  I highly recommend it if you're in the area.
