CUTENESS OVERLOAD WARNING!!!

There are not enough hours in the day to take advantage of all the great opportunities that come my way as a blogger. Come see and play with penguins up close and personal…there was NO WAY I was going to miss that one!!! Never in my life did I dream that I would get to play with an African Penguin! Guess what my teen boys and tween daughter now want for a Christmas gift? Yep…backstage penguin passes with the whole family! 90 minutes of cuteness and education!

Darwin took us in a tour of the USDA approved kitchen, where they work very hard preparing all the penguin food. Each of the 32 penguins are hand-fed and each morsel is documented. The man is a penguin encyclopedia and has been all over the world to visit and photograph them too!

Kohl and Millicent painted each of us a picture we could take home with us. My daughter thought this was the coolest thing ever!

There is no doubt that Tom speaks penguin. He was entertaining to both our group and our waddling friends!
