Saffron helped me start seeds downstairs. She put the labels in the containers, and dropped the seeds in the soil. She kept telling me that I was muddy whenever I got soil on my hands. It worked out well, because Saffron turns into a crazy mad scientist whenever they do experiments.
Earlier today they all went to Hogle Zoo. We got a year membership to the Tracy Aviary, and they have some free days at the zoo for Aviary members.
Miles loved the penguins and they got to see the rare white alligator in the "Ghost of the Bayou" exhibit.
Ian had to hang out with the bronze gorilla (much safer than the fleshy kind) because the ape house was closed.
Everyone liked the big cats, and they got to see some new animal babies.
They tore out the old hippo house and they are going to put in a wild animal carousel (though technically it's a merry-go-round if it has animals other than horses) but I'm sure Saff will love it no matter what it's called.
