April Vacation Highlights!

In honor of April Vacation last week we had three fabulous animal events - here are just a few highlights from the events. Missed out on the fun? Make sure to check in on the blog or follow us on Facebook or Twitter so you don't miss any future events.

Museum of Science presented Reptiles where children learned and met about several animals. On the left is the Giant Adabra Tortoise! 

Farmer Minor and Daisy the Pig presented books about fun on farms and their favorite animals. Here Farmer Minor gives Daisy a treat. 

On Friday, we celebrated a year of reading with Tessie the Therapy Dog and Pat Fleming, her owner. Tessie dressed up as a princess for the occasion. Children had the chance to meet Tessie, make a doggie craft, eat some treats and play a game. 

Children can continue to sign up to read to Tessie - check out her upcoming dates here.
