They brought tarantulas (brave Ms. Penner!). . .
. . . snakes . . .
. . . and a giant snake skin, along with stick bugs, toads, rabbits, hissing cockroaches, and scorpions (which I didn't know glow in the dark - you learn something new every day!). The kids all loved it and Holly didn't even run away even though she was sitting in the front row watching the tarantulas!
