Happy Fathers Day!

We started out the day with a few cards and breakfast on the deck..."Here, Daddy...Happy Father's Day"...


Then we went to the ZOOQUARIUM in Yarmouth...



We started with some Turtles. This is a snapping turtle. His neck gets really long and it looked a little weird. Oliver seems to agree.


This is a baby snapping turtle. We thought he was fake at first but then he moved. His shell was only 2 inches wide at the most...tiny turtle.


Then we saw some frogs and toads. The American Bullfrogs and the Box Turtles were our favorite. Ribbit.


Oliver got to ride on Daddy's shoulders to see a 'Zoorific' show.


That is were we met MISS PICKLES. She was a very sweet 7 Month old Pot Belly Pig. We know a lot about pigs now. Here are a few things we learned:
~ Pigs are the 4th smartest mammal(even smarter than dogs!).
~ They can't look up.
~ They use mud as sunscreen and to cool off.
~ They are used to sniff out illegal drugs because they have an incredible sense of smell!


Oliver liked Miss Pickles.

Here was the highlight of our day! Oliver went on his first pony ride! Giddy'up...
