Later Gator

I just realized that I had never made a post about the other Parks & Rec class we went to a few weeks ago called “Later Gator” – it was also at the park, but this night we got to see some real live reptiles and play fun games with our friends!

We first got to see a Bearded Dragon lizard – it was very cool, but unfortunately I don’t have any good pictures of it. But the next animal that came out was…

An Alligator!  The kids all thought it was very cool! Most of them (including Luke) got to pet her tail.

It was very impressive. Then we saw a box turtle as well, but again, no good pictures, sorry!

After the animal show we played a bunch of games. First up was Musical Lily Pads.  The kids had a great time jumping from pad to pad.

Then they did an obstacle course where they jumped over a “pit of snakes”…

and then pretended to be snakes slithering through a tunnel.

The last project was to make a slithery snake out of a necktie. Unfortunately we took our snake supplies home to make the snake another time – it was WAY past Beka’s bedtime and she all of a sudden decided to let us know it by screaming! :-)  But here’s a great picture of the other kids with their finished snakes!
