TOLAY 2012

Autumn brings me so much joy.  I love the cool breeze, crisp leaves, and all of the activities.  One of our favorite fall activities is the Tolay Festival.
 
 
There were telescopes set up this year to view the sun----it was so cool!
 


 
We love the Barnyard Critters exhibit.  This turtle is 3 years old and weighs in at 200lbs.....it will live to about 80!!!


 
rattlesnakes

 
Macaws


 
Barn Owl

 
Bugs and the potential problems that they can cause medically and economically....

 
Here, they learned about from the Earth to You.  They were able to brush some sheep wool.


 
....then spin it into string!

 
This year, the girls were able to hold baby chicks!!!

 
 
They were so soft and chirpy!!!......this chick was only 3 days old!


 
The girls enjoyed tasting the local honey

 
The Indian Village also proved to be a fun and educational exhibit.

 
....arrowheads, arrows, stones for mixing in, how they made brooms, teepees, and more!

 
The animal exhibit is always a favorite:)





 
HAPPY FALL YA'LL
