We took advantage of BAMM (Broward Attractions and Museums Month - if you have a membership at any of the participating museums, you can get in to all the participating museums for free for the month of June) since we are members of the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum we visited Flamingo Gardens for free today. Ella had a blast running around and seeing all the animals. The peacocks were the highlight of her day - even though she kept calling them chickens.

Here is a video of her telling the peacocks to “shhhh” because they kept making their loud calls

Here she is watching some turtles - she really wanted them to “wake up” - they were just laying there sunning themselves and I guess she felt they needed to be more active…

And this is an injured bald eagle. He had just finished giving himself a nice long bath and decided to spin dry - I guess!

Here she is practicing jumping in. The second time she goes completely under. It freaked her out for a second, but she quickly got over it.
