You Wanna Touch A Skunk?:

I just love our little nature center we have here.  It's tiny, like 3 rooms tiny, but it's neat none the less.

This last time they let us pet the skunk!!

Who can say they've touched a skunk?  Me, Alanna, and Nana can!  It was really soft and felt just like a cat.  This one had been rescued as a small....cub?  No, pup?  Eh, I don't know what a small skunk is but it was little and raised like a pet. (de-scented of course)  Such a cool experience.

Alanna had talked ALL WEEK LONG about how she was gonna teach Papa to be brave and touch a snake.  She kept telling him that he was scared and that she would hold his hand.  WELL.....we get there and they bring out the snake and she QUICKLY changed her tune.  She wanted nothing to do with that snake.  Papa ended up touching it all on his own to try to get Alanna to touch it and she would have no part of it.

In the car, on the way home, she said "Papa, You were brave all by yourself and I didn't even have to teach you! YAY!" as she clapped her little hands.  It was so funny.  I guess her snake days are over.

That's totally okay by me! ;)
