Reptile & Amphibian Discovery Zoo

This week, we took another field trip to the Blue Earth County Library to see the Reptile & Amphibian Discovery Zoo. We arrived a little earlier than we did last time and it really paid off. We got to sit right up front and the kids really had a great view of the animals. They had a good time and got really excited when they brought out the huge tortoise and giant python at the end! After the presentation, we went into the library to look at books, play with some of the toys and try out the computer. The kids had a blast! A tree frog

A tiger salamander, I think.

A snake turtle...cuz her neck was really long (see better photo below)
