Silly Safaris at the Museum

Today we ended summer with a smash hit: Silly Safaris at the Putnam County Museum. Austin from Silly Safaris had a wide variety of animals to show off for all the kiddos. There was a hare and a tortoise . . . guess who won the race. He showed off a kinkajou and a baby alligator. Halfway through the show it was time for a snack. Out comes the lunch box filled with hissing cockroaches. EW!! He put one in his mouth. Ew ew ew. There was an owl that flapped his wings when he said "wings". Kids tried to get the bird to flap his wings but the bird didn't want to listen. There was a tree frog that was slimy. And, my favorite part of the show, an albino Burmese Python. And there was Ellie, the elephant dog. She was really a Great Dane. About 70 people showed up to the event. It was a totally awesome way to end the Fizz Boom Read summer.
