A few days ago, Lucy and I had this conversation at the breakfast table:
Lucy: When will Carter have puppies?
Me: Oh, honey, Carter's a boy dog. He'll never have puppies.
Lucy: So why didn't we name him Daisy?
The logic is strong with this one.
Or maybe not.
So today we had a great time at
Fruitlands Museum, where they were hosting
Animal Adventures, a terrific opportunity to meet (and touch!) some curious creatures. As you can see, Lucy was very excited:
Highlights from the show included this Kinkajou:
Lucy had learned about the kinkajou from the show Diego. When she told me all about it (after watching the episode) I kind of thought it was a made-up animal. I had never heard of such a creature. Well, I stand corrected.
We also got to see a skunk! I didn't get a good photo of it, but it was adorable. Oh, and it had been de-stinkified, so it was all good (non-smelly) fun.
A big hit with the audience was the Chinchilla:
The chinchilla was Lucy's favorite part of the day. That's one soft critter!
We also saw a snake, but Lucy chose not to join the other kids in the snake-handling:
It has been a busy week here for family and kid-focused events. After all the Winter Fest stuff, there was Lowell Kids' Week, which has events for the local school vacation week. On Friday, Jake took both Lucy and Ruth to see a concert, and on Saturday, I took Lucy to yet another Kids' Week crafting event, this one at the Boott Mills, where she made a snowman:
We also finished the Downtown Lowell Scavenger Hunt that we started on Monday. It was great fun, and had us out seeking public art and architecture. With a little help from our Park Ranger friend, we finally found this bell:
It's been fun to explore Lowell!
