TPWD Expo
By krmac | October 5, 2008
Saturday we treked out to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo in South Austin. It was a fun filled day with lots of walking and lots of stuff to see and do. The kids enjoyed participating in several activities including fishing from a large pool set up under a huge tent. They could choose from trout or catfish, we chose the catfish. Brady caught one but managed to free himself right when Scott pulled it up out of the water. Kacey caught one too and wasn’t too keen on standing around when the expo volunteer pulled the fish up. She took off, it was too funny! I tried to get her to stand next to it for a picture or at least touch it, and she wouldn’t. But the guy kneeled down and asked her if she would like to touch it and she went right over and had no reservations about it! Of course being the nature lover that I am, I had to touch it too! After the fishing we walked over to the saltwater exhibit and the “touch tanks”. We were able to touch a blue crab, hermit crabs, a live sponge and an anenome. Brady was really into it and was quite enthralled with the lady telling him all about what he was touching. I was totally in my element and loving every minute of it! We also caught the Birds Of Prey show “Last Chance Forever”. It was awesome and we learned a lot! A few of the hawks flew inches over our heads, I loved that our kids got to experience that. I have been to similar shows and the State Fair, but never was able to be this close and personal with the birds. All in all it was a hot, but very fun day! Here are the photos from our day…
