Holiday Part 3

Yesterday was busy.

First on the agenda was a visit to the Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary which is conveniently located in the same parking lot as our grocery store. We went early for their Breakfast with the Birds program. Bird poop in your orange juice (and on your table and on your seat) is a small price to pay for so much fun. Especially if you come with us, because we get the local price.







Besides the fantastic enormous aviaries, there are other walk-through animal enclosures loaded with native animals. This is a must-see for anyone coming to visit, unless you have ornithophobia or pteronophobia, in which case I recommend you stay far, far away.

After the Rainforest, and after grocery shopping, we returned to find the realtor waiting, unannounced, to show another group of people through the house. After that slight inconvenience, we packed up to meet our friends at a local swimming hole, one we hadn't seen yet.

Then it was movie night. The kids watched Two Brothers and Babe with our swimming hole friends while I cooked dinner, made popcorn, and enjoyed some adult conversation.

Today the movie festival continues with the conclusion of Lost Season One, a series Stephanie convinced me I should not miss and which Sarabelle, Grice, and I are now completely hooked on; a family favorite, The Nightmare Before Christmas since this is probably as close as we will get to trick-or-treating this year; and continuing our Tim Burton worship, Big Fish.
