Lions, Tigers, and Bears

On June 27th we went to The Science Spectrum for "Critter Fest." It was sooooo hot! It was one of the days when it was close to 100 degrees. We had the baby with us so we didn't see much of the outside exhibit. The inside displays included chimpanzees, dog training facilities, snakes. etc... The coolest thing was the "Big Cat Show." We walked in not expecting much but they had a circus style big ring set up with a huge metal fence and barriers around it. They had small metal bleachers around the entire ring about 12 feet away for people to sit on. They also allowed any kiddos and parents who were interested to sit on the floor right next to the ring for a very up close seat. Of course this is where Elise wanted to sit. Ally sat in the comfort of the further away bleachers with me, Chris, and Gee-Gee. When they brought out the 4 or 5 tigers to do their show I thought Elise would be terrified. NOPE!! SHE LOVED IT! She literally got to sit just a few inches away from a Siberian Tiger. She was mesmerized by the show and didn't want to leave. It was an awesome show and such a memorable experience for her!!! I liked the chimp who tried to unzip his caretaker's pants in front of 4 or 5 people. He caught me laughing at him and turned a little red! haha
