Animal Extravaganza

Yesterday we went on an adventure in Trenton, FL - we went to an "Animal Extravaganza" show. It was held in a rodeo arena about 45 minutes from Gainesville, and they had all kinds of things to do.
    
They did two different shows, one on a pirate ship with cats and dogs, 
    
and another with exotic animals, like this white Bengal tiger!
There were also activities, food, games, etc. 
 
The best part by far was the bounce house. Both girls loved it (after a little initial trepidation on Lela's part) and would have stayed for hours.
It wasn't exactly what I expected, a bit more amateur than I thought, but the girls really seemed to enjoy themselves. And this morning they spent quite a while getting out all kinds of stuffed animals and creating a stage and various 'shows' in which they introduced the animals and talked about them and basically reenacted all of yesterday. So I'd say it goes in the success column!

Success indeed! Plus some great pictures came out of it, too. I keep thinking A would like a bounce house, but only if he didn't have to deal with a whole bunch of other screaming kinds jumping around in it...
