We created some beautiful ornaments today but that was not the highlight of our day. We got to see a live bat hanging like an ornament from Mr. Joe's (Granddaddy Joe) four-wheeler. We got to see the bat upclose but we made sure that we did not touch the bat (since we all know that they can carry rabies like any other wildlife animal). Mr. Joe did touch the bat and Allyson told us before lunch that he needed to make certain that he washed his hands. The children had a lot of questions about the bat. I did a little research and I will post the links here. I found out that bats are mammas and they nurse their young. Their faces looks similar to a fox. I also found that bats are very useful creatures. They prey on pesky mosquitos and other insects. See, we learn something new all of the time! www.incrediblebats.com See you at Tinsel Town at 4:00 on Friday!
