Visiting the Rainforest

Today, we visited the Rainforest at Moody Gardens. We forgot our camera at home and had to use Richard's phone. I was surprised how well the pictures turned out!

The first part of the exhibit was the view from the Tree Top Canopy. We saw the entire Rainforest from the viewpoint of a bird or monkey.



The next part was the Butterfly enclosure.

 As soon as we walked in a butterfly landed on Richard and refused to fly away!
We didn't want to kill it, by touching it, but when we finally shook his shorts hard enough the butterfly decide to hangout on his leg. Brooklyn kept cracking up laughing at the silly butterfly!


Not only were there many different types of animals, but also many beautiful types of flowers. Orchids of every shade and variety where found all over the entire exhibit!



At one point, Brooklyn kept complaining how hot she was! "It's too hot!" It was 94.5 in the rainforest! Where has she been ALL summer, especially if she thinks that 95 is too hot! 









See ya later, Tree Frog!
