the open house was amazing. we saw day old baby jellyfish, were stared down by painted turtles, covered our ears at high pitched beluga squeals, sang lullabies to sleeping penguins + ate some cheese and jicama. as if all that wasn't enough, on our walk back to the car along the twinkling lakefront, we spotted a small, calm owl just a few feet away camped out on a "pesticide free zone" sign. quite honestly, a perfect evening.
