    WARE school exhibit
    Hey yall! :D We were invited by Brookwood Elementary School to come help them celebrate their last day of school with a reptile exhibit. We had a blast and the kids really enjoyed the show. :gj: We made a short slideshow vid of some of the pictures snapped as the Pre-K to 2nd graders enjoy the show. :( Ran out of memory card and didn't get pictures of the second show (3rd to 5th grade). Hope you all enjoy! :)

    If more people would take the time to educate the public we would not only reduce the number of fearful people but we would also increase the population of Reptile enthusiasts. Well done Angie and Will, along with every one who helped you.:gj::gj:

    that is SO awesome...love it! It is so rewarding to do shows with kids as they have such a propensity to embrace reptiles. Those faces of the children looking at the reptiles is just priceless. Good on you for doing this!! My favorite is afterwards and the kids are like..."I wanna........." :D

    That is so cool. I remember the first time I saw a ball python, it was one of the teachers that brought it to school. Before then I was afraid of snakes but as soon as I touched her and she didn't eat my face I wanted one. That is great that you guys have the time to do that, thanks.

    Heres hoping for future herpers!

    Thanks! It was just me Angie, but with so many students, we had to get help! Lol
    A few teachers, The Principal, and a couple students completed the crew. There were a few teachers that sat back, but 2 of those actually touched a snake for the first time! We are going to try and get some pics from students, teachers, and their yearbook camera person of the 2nd show. Everyone eager and supportive.....Props to the faculty and students there! Awesome Job!!! :D

    Thanks Frankie!
    We live in a pretty rural community, and everytime an animal was taken out, that song came to mind with the excitement! I bet there is never a dull moment with Bud :D

    Great pictures Will and Angie! I loved the pictures, not a frightened face that I could find in the bunch!

    Was nice "chatting" with you this afternoon when my neighbor and I were in B'ham having lunch! I was trying to remember the name of that restaurant to tell her about it and how good it was!

    We finally made it to get my car and made it home through massive torrential rains and even had to pull over one time under a bridge when hail started coming down! :O

    Hats off to you!

    Got to start them young. Educating others is key to our herping rights.

    Thanks for sharing and putting the love of reptiles in those children.
