As reqested by the lad, "rainforest" has been written in bold letters on our master calendar for today -- February 20 -- since about a month ago. So Brendan and Mom ventured to the local rainforest. (Thank you for the suggestion Aunt Eliz.) We enjoyed seeing more peacocks than Mom would have liked. And don't you know it's not every rainforest that has its own peacocks! We had a great walk and Brendan was particularly drawn to the trees from Australia and New Zealand -- you learn something new about the contents of the rainforest every day ;o) -- so much so that he took this picture below, which I think is pretty grand.
This next shot was taken pre-afternoon scheduled haircut and pre-chasing the geese. Mom and geese have long had a standing dislike for one another, so when Mom was waxing poetic about the waterfall aka glorified fountain a voice from behind her whispered "geese". So enthralled with Fern Gully, Mom continued the water talk only to next hear in a very clear determined voice... "I chase geese!" And that he did as he and the 6 geese he counted ran through the lush green of the rainforest. This adventure came to a close as Brendan smiled and squeezed Mom's arm and guided his animal fearful Mother through the treacherous peacock-laden exit of the rainforest. "All done rainforest. All done."
