Busch Wildlife Sanctuary

Today we went on a field trip to Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter Florida and had a great time learning about Florida's native animals. What a beautiful day it was to be at such a beautiful place where they rescue and care for animals who can not live in the wild. We certainly learned a lot today and look forward to going back to the Sanctuary soon!


Colton was our junior photographer today and took all the pictures of the animals that you see. He did a great job and had a lot of fun with it!


Fletch loved watching the bobcats walk back and forth. This is a picture of Gracie and her good friend Betsy. She lives in our neighborhood and is the daughter of my friend and hero Kim, who happens to have 7 amazing children and has homeschooled them all! Betsy whose six, is the youngest of the seven and is such a sweet girl. They are such an incredible family and their daughter Molly is a dream babysitter for us for those rare occasions that we get out alone!


Petting a skunk is so much fun! This little lady was so calm and sweet! The great horned owl had all the children's attention. They all wished they could turn their necks the way an owl can!


Colton took this picture of two rattle snakes coiled together. We agreed that when comparing the venomous snakes to the non venomous snakes, the venomous snakes even look more dangerous and creepy!



Colton got this super cool "Save Our World" shirt from Aunt Kelly. He loved seeing one of his most favorite animals of all... the Bald Eagle. Totally magnificent! And petting an alligator is always fun!
