I had to pick up a new table for the house out by the Airport

so to make up for an errand on Boy Monday

I suggested a trip to Butterfly Creek

he was more than keen

through the aquarium

and into the Butterflies

they come and land on your fingers, head and clothing

Arlo was fascinated but didn't want them to land on him

yet when this fellow came out to be petted he was all in

and he wanted to get closer to this guy too

a train ride

and some goat patting

quite happy to pat the llarma too

the goats have a crazy above ground walkway

it really does sound like the 3 Billy Goats Gruff

tripp tripp tropping above you

some cute baby bunnies

and a chicken also got some love

but when we found a butterfly had stowed away on my headscarf

and went back to return it

still not keen for them to be on him
