Last week my friend Dara and I took our kids on a Real Time Adventure to Prehistoric Pets. We had heard about this pet store/zoo/wild animal park/try not "eeekkk" too much place but had never been so we thought we had better try it out.
The kids got such a kick out of seeing what was hiding behind each glassed cage.... or in this case what was hiding under the bench in the movie room....
This situation still cracks me up just thinking about it. Katie was sitting in this room waiting for the movie to start when she noticed what she thought was a fake turtle start to MOVE. I hear her holler "Mom, MOM, MOMMMM HELP!!!" I run in there (i was out chasing MB) to see....
Katie scrunched up against the bench trying to get away from this ferocious animal! I was laughing so hard the picture turned out blurry. Katie and I got a big kick out of this story once she was safe and sound we cracked up big time!
After checking out all the caged creatures it was time to hold some of them ourselves.....
"oh a snake! cool. wow. oh. mmm. cool. that is so neat!" (those were some of the things I was saying from behind my camera a few steps back).
"ahhh, oh two snakes! Even better! Awesome!"
Dara was like the snake whisperer and was so good with helping the kids...
... and the snakes. One of the kids let the snake go on the bench and it started getting all wrapped up and it was a little OOC (out of control)! 
mmmm hummmm!!!! Jake is a huge reptile lover so he was fine with letting this snake choke him!
Carter was cracking me up the entire time. He kept getting the heebie jeebies and would do a little shake from heebie jeebie chills.
Bailey was a mini version of her mom the snake whisper. She just loved that snake so much!
Then they busted out this guy and let him roam around the store! The kids got such a kick out of him!
meanwhile.
We ended our adventure there by feeding the turtles and fish and then headed to our local Farmers Market at the Marina for some more fun! 
It was a great Real Time Adventure had by all!

I FORGOT about that place....so fun. Haven't been since Drei was too little to remember. Gotta take the kiddos.
Remember my initial reaction when you were telling me about this? I still feel the same way.
Looks like they had a blast! Your next RTA should be to Adventure Playground. I remember we had some good times there.
Scott, that is crazy that you say that b/c bryant and i were just talking about that last night and we were trying to plan a day to go! So funny!
Kim, it's Such a great place to spend the afternoon. the kids love it.

Holy snakes! That place is way cooler and freakier than I expected. Fun!
Wow... I think that I might just be speechless. I bet the kids had a blast!
Yea, adventure playground...was that the place with the mud and where you could nail boards together and stuff?
