Rainy Day - part 1

What does one do when it rains at The Cape?
That's a big question. Because after going out for breakfast (at The Pancake Man!) we had the whole long rainy day in front of us.
So we herded the boys into the car and drove them The Zooquarium! motto: More Fun Than The Beach.

Now, I didn't have high hopes for this place. I pictured a couple of fish tanks and an owl with a broken wing. But guess what? It was more fun than the beach!

We saw a show where a woman showed off some box turtles and a skunk - which we got to pet! We saw tons and tons of fish, crabs, and rescued squirrels.
And then we went outside, where we could pet and feed deer, llamas, pigs, and sheep. There were peacocks and chickens and even turkeys, and those birds knew what was in those food dispensers. You'd turn around and the birds would be coming right for you.

The turkeys especially were the biggest ones I've ever seen. And they were not shy about demanding more food. Nathan clung to Steve's leg and wouldn't let go until the very end.
