Cypress Gardens
I figured that it was time for the kid's wildlife experience to go beyond seeing the fishies and lobsters at Wal-Mart, so we headed up to Moncks Corner to visit Cypress Gardens.
Our first stop... The Butterfly Garden! A little nerve racking since the gift shop lady's parting words to me were "oh, and just don't touch the butterflies... they say if you do they die or something". I certainly don't want to be responsible for the untimely death of a poor little butterfly. The kids were very good, and I am happy to report that no butterflies were harmed during the Millan visit.
Next Stop. . . the Nile Crocodile. Olivia wasn't very enthusiastic about these creatures, but any Little Einstein buff can appreciate the NILE CROCODILE.
They also had an aquarium, a giant tortoise named Pedro, birdies, and a boat ride!! I wish I had pictures of the boat ride, but I was sitting in a canoe with a 15 month old and a 2 year old. . . need I say more.
(I mostly took video, but am having a hard time uploading all but one... if I can figure it out, I'll post the others later)

Ok, my favorite part.. Uh, Olivia, don't pick the flowers..oopps.
Needless to say, I bet the gift shop lady was glad when your visit was over! What a fun place to take the kids! We'll have to visit there next time!
I know! That part makes me laugh too... if you want a taste of my life... there you go! Just keepin' it real :)
loved the video . . . she and Ian would make quite a pair; he loves pulling up my pansies and giving them to me as a present, oh well! Glad you got some 'animal fun' in this week for the kids since the zoo didn't work out - Hopefully some time soon.
CUTE! I'm glad that some other moms have a little "oops" every now and then. :)
yeah, oops! funny!
