Daru goes to school

Yes, the boys get all the fun classes. Daru came to school to talk about animal behavior a few weeks ago. She was pretty well behaved considering the herds of children and strange surroundings. If you look very carefully, you can see my boy who is terrified of dogs in the back of the room.

Chameleon Climbing II

Chameleons have zygodactyly.

Chameleon Climbing

My "big boys" and I took a trip to Petco to see the animals- a free field trip thanks to Field Trip Factory. They loved the chameleon and it was pretty cool I must admit. I had never seen their feet which are forked to help them climb and it was fun to watch it climb all the boys.

The birds

After 2 months of a birdless feeder, the birds came in full force starting last week and almost emptied the whole thing. We have seen chickadees, nuthatches, two varieties of woodpeckers, and male and female cardinals. Kina loves bird watching and I think this morning she was licking her lips.

The Falls

There were actually falls too- not just ice and rainbows.
