Holding a Tarantula!

Whaaaat?  That's right!  Now that Everett is three, he is old enough to hold Rosie the Tarantula at the Butterfly Pavilion (one of our favorite places).  He was so brave!  The pictures show a tentative face because he was focusing acutely on his task. 

Ev said she tickled.  I can only assume he's right because I'm not holding her.

We love seeing the seastars...

and the fish

We love touching the seastars... 

and the horseshoe crab.

There are lots of boards with butterflies emerging from their crysalis.
