October in Florida means two of our favorite annual "fests": the Butterfly Fest and the Bat Fest.
The Butterfly Fest at the Florida Museum of Natural History was October 19th (Lily's birthday). The highlight this year was holding a live snake.
Outdoors they had a little children's area setup. The kids did some activities at each booth. Here they got to put on glasses to help them "see like a bee" and try to throw some balls (pollen) in a bucket (hive).
The following saturday was the Bat Festival. The giant fruit bats were cute, we got to pet a baby alligator as well as a snake, we danced to a didgeridoo, and the kids enjoyed 4 different bounce houses (the lines were very short). It was a good adventure.
