We had SUCH a fun den meeting tonight. I know that Sis. Park and Sis. Meeker were most surprised at how AWESOME this place is! The boys learned all kinds of cool stuff tonight--nature conservation, food chains, recycling, endangered/extinct species. Did you know that as a whole 99% of all animals to have lived on this earth are currently EXTINCT??? Our animals that are alive today are not nearly as diverse as they have been in the past. That was an amazing/somewhat sad statistic to hear. The boys had a great time with our awesome tour guide:
They even had the opportunity to HOLD a baby Desert Tortoise!!! Look at this little cutie and these BRAVE boys (and a brave Sis. Park:)
A big thank you to the five boys who came tonight and earned a BELT LOOP!!! Yahoo!!!
And for anyone who is interested, there is a FREE event happening at the Veteran's Oasis Park on Friday, April 20th from 4-7 p.m. There will be plenty of hands-on activities and live animal presentations--all in honor of Earth Day!
