Today, we ventured to a new and crazy place: the
Serpentarium in Monroe, WA. (Is that word? Could I use that in Scrabble?) This is basically a Reptile Zoo with a ton of snakes, lizards, spiders, tortoises, iguanas, frogs, and more. They boast that they have the ten deadliest snakes on display, plus an albino alligator, and a two-headed turtle! What more could one want!!!??
After bravely spending one hour in the Reptile Zoo, we washed our hands three times, and then headed to the other side of town to have brunch at the Hitching Post Cafe.... definitely more my style than looking at gross enormous vipers! It was a fun and entertaining morning -the kids loved it. (Monroe is a cute little town about 30 minutes from Bellevue - think Hayward, WI!)
We are on mid-winter break this week, so I am stretching to find a fun educational activity each day.... this one was definitely outside my comfort zone!
