Gabriels's 8th Birthday

It was our friend Gabe's Birthday yesterday and he was nice enough to invite us to go with him to the reptile place. Jadyn was a bit shy to touch the reptiles.

Jesse, of course, jumped right in and started touching everything
UMM well except for the alligators, he was happy to just look at those guys

the snakes were interesting though

Then the kids found something else interesting

BABY MICE!! They were SO CUTE

ok back to this guys, he was scary

Jesse found a leopard gecko and they took it out so he could get a closer look, fuzzy picture, but it is a gecko trust me

and we'll be keeping this guy behind the glass thank you

hedgehogs are always a hit, everyone wanted to hold the prickly little guy

awww so cute

Tub O' Turtles

me wondering if this cute little guy would be ok if I snuck him out in my pocket, no, not really, but he's so cute isn't he?

Jadyn wanted this one, but I told her it was toooo little

What are you looking at?

Hey mister, whatcha doin' with all those bugs? Feeding them to the turtles. OOOHHHH!

HEY! What are you doing with those baby mice? "Who? Innocent little me? Nothing! Just picking some out to take home." lol

This one looks like he's thinking Jesse may make a tasty snack

Poor mouse, the kids found this snake eating a mouse fascinating, me? Not so much
