It Pays to Know People Who Know People

Chris's brother Nathan knows Katie. Katie happens to work at Hogle Zoo. Katie also happens to have access to animals and provides private petting zoo privileges to people she knows. Like I said, it pays to know people who know people.

She hooked us up with insects, including a hissing cockroach. Snakes that sort of freaked me out. A chinchilla that I wanted to sneak out of the zoo and bring home to cuddle tonight. An Australian bird. An armadillo. An animal I can't remember the name of. And a lizard. A way cool lizard.

But this my friends was not the highlight of our zoo trip. How could personal petting zoo privileges not be the most amazing thing that could ever happen at the zoo, you ask?

Because this is the most amazing thing that could ever happen at the zoo:

That cockroach is DISGUSTING!!! My kids have spent some time with that lil' guy, as well as some big ugly snake! BLAH! Glad the boys had fun, though! It's just hard for me to watch! I don't particularly like the creepy crawlies!
