The next day we all went to the Dallas Zoo. At one point we went into a building where a zoo employee had a small python. She was telling the children facts about the snake and allowing them to touch it on the tail. Mia and Zoey wanted to do it, so I was standing beside them. For some unknown reason, Mia reached up and grabbed the snake's head in her hand. I about had a heart attack and so did the poor zoo employee! Mia immediately released the python who thankfully did not do anything to Mia in retaliation. Good grief! I don't think she really meant to grab its whole head, but we got out of there pretty quickly. It was a fun trip, though!
Mia is pretty much as tall as the emperor penguin now.
Touching the snake's tail as instructed.
I was taking this picture when she grabbed the python's head. She immediately released it, so it looks here like she's just touching its chin. The poor girl holding the snake was terrified.
