There were tons of great animals there. I kinda felt bad that some were in rather small habitats though.
I can hear my mother screaming while she looks at this pic:
We went into the nocturnal area. There was a big sign when you entered, stating “No Flash Photography!!!!” Of course, the person that came in behind us snapped a pic with full flash. We all grunted and pointed at the sign. She got the hint.
Check out these cute little (well, rather large actually) cockroaches:
This little blue lobster was one of my favourties. So cute:
Love his little beady eyes!
We then wandered into the main open area, which was way bigger than I thought it would be. All of the birds were totally free to fly around.
I tried to touch this dude but he hopped away when I got within an inch:
We went into the Lorakeet cage and got to feed the birds with little cups of nectar. It was awesome!
Despite not getting to hold a real spider….
This stuffed one was rather nice! We had an amazing time. Also came home with a couple of friends. We were both kinda attached to the stuffed snakes – mine of course was orange to match my plane, and his was green (his fav colour). The kitties liked them too:
I love how Pinky is cradling him in her paw:
Unfortunately, Sarge, the German Shepherd got a hold of the green one:
He’s ok though – it was only a flesh wound!
The rest of the week was decent. I went into work on New Year’s Eve day, then had the next day off. Went back on Wednesday and had to leave just before 3:00, as it was yucky Tysabri infusion day. I think there are issues with my veins because the IV is hurting more and more each time. Survived it though and had my usual evening of feeling blah, then felt blah again today. At least I had the day off. I put away all of my Christmas stuff and did some other cleaning and sorting. It really helped to keep my mind off of how poopy I was feeling.
Today’s symptoms: Didn’t feel very good today at all. I think this infusion was worse than normal. Lots of aches, pains, muscle spasms, fatigue and a really bad headache. Looking forward to feeling better tomorrow.
