Arthur's Big day at the Ark


The place is called Noah's Ark and instead of listing all they do you can click the link and read for your own. Tuesday my wife took off work to share int eh experience with my son since she works full time and never seems to take part in our outings. Arthur is 3 years old now and I really thought he'd be more interested int he animals but he seemed to be more interested in keeping up with a school group of children and jumping over rocks and tree roots! Our best Arthur/animal interaction came with the first exhibit of birds. A couple of the birds were quite talkative and Arthur and the birds carried on a fine conversation!

After this he seemed to not take much notice of any animals and instead wanted to stay near the other kids, yell loudly to passerby's "HI! I'M LOOKING AT ANIMALS!" and jumping over tree roots and rocks. This was also his normal nap time so I am sure it played a part so no harm done and we still had fun being together as a family. Enjoy the photos!


 Peacocks were everywhere!

 My favorite photo!
 Very sweet but tries to bite.
 There were three tigers in this area.
 Quack Quack
 These insects were everywhere and I had not seen them before.
 This bear shares the area with a lion and a tiger. They were all brought in as babies and have grown together. Right before this it was pawing the lions backside but the lion was lazy and only snarled at it. I think it wanted to play.

 Lots of ducks there. 1/3 where this breed and another 1/3were Pekin and the rest was an assortment. I did not see the ones I donated, at least I'm not sure. None looked like Jr, but a couple did look like Punky and Noname. There is another part where we aren't allowed and it has a pond and more ducks which is where i thought they were taken.






 Very blue when flashed.
