Ellie checked out the turtle habitat....

Then she tried to find the boa constrictor's head (sorry, Grandma Hazel!).

She LOVED this lion; in fact, she liked all of the taxidermy.
[shudder]

Ellie liked these shark photos as well. Perhaps there's a shark dive in our future after all....

This exhibit was about wind and wind tunnels. Ellie liked throwing paper plates onto the fabric.

She liked hanging out in this cold tent. She also liked its companion hot tent.

When Ellie jumped on the bellows, she could blow air at the farm. She got a kick out of this exhibit.

She checked out more turtles here...

Then she watched clouds form in the cloud machine.

Alien Ellie

This scarlet macaw was Ellie's favorite! She loved that the bird repeats "hello" and "goodbye." She talks about this bird nonstop!
----------LOOK AWAY NOW, GRANDMA HAZEL!----------

And finally, Ellie took in the Live Animal Encounter. She even participated by answering some of the presenter's questions...it was SO cute! She was thrilled to see this albino cornsnake close-up.
