Reptile Zoo Playdate!



Recently we joined some friends at The Reptile Zoo in Fountain Valley for an educational playdate.
You may recognize the location from its previous name, Prehistoric Pets.
They have expanded from just a store to an amazing display of reptiles and insects!
You will even find some alligators in there!


We were shown to the back of The Reptile Zoo to a presentation room.
Aaron was our guide, and introduced us to many different creatures!
Here are a few that we got to meet that day.


Buddy the Ball Python was smooth and fun to pet.


Spike the Bearded Dragon was full of texture and such a beautiful color!


Sydney the Whites Tree Frog was adorable!!
He fit right in the palm of your hand.


Leo the Leopard can detach its tail!
Can you imagine being able to let one of your appendages fall off at will?


Jabba the African Bullfrog lived up to his Star Wars inspired name!


I was so proud of my brave girl for holding Fluffy the Rose Hair Tarantula!
My son said it wasn't his thing.
I couldn't agree more.


After our special presentation, we wandered around looking at all the amazing creatures.
There were so many huge snakes!
The one pictured on the bottom is Twinkie, the world's largest albino snake!


I was fascinated by the alligators.
They just sat there on the other side of the glass, looking harmless.
This big guy even fell asleep while we watched him!


My kids thoroughly enjoyed The Reptile Zoo and can't wait to go back again!

Review: REvitalize!



This week I received an exciting package from the company RE!
I had read about their products and wanted to try their juice blend, REvitalize.

RE's vision is to strengthen our minds and bodies with vital nutrients and antioxidants
to make us the healthiest, strongest people we can be!

Here are the powerful and tasty ingredients you will find in REvitalize!
You can go on the RE website to learn more about each of these super fruits.

apple: filled with antioxidants to help fight free radical cells in the body. 
apricot: yellow/orange colored tree fruit with tons of Vitamin A. 
black raspberry: great source for Vitamin C. 
blueberry: plant-grown, rich in antioxidants, helps support vitality. 
blackberry: great for the digestive system, high content of fiber. 
cranberry: found in shrubs, filled with polyphenol antioxidants. 
dark sweet cherry: good source of Vitamin C and fiber. 
elderberry: native to South America, rich in powerful antioxidants. 
goji berry: bright orange-red color, native to southeastern Europe and Asia.

For our family, a supplement is only as good as how it tastes!
No matter how good for us it is, it must be tasty too.

REvitalize is delicious!
I loved how it tasted and it didn't upset my sensitive stomach!
My picky little girl gulped it down and asked for more!
I know that I will have no problem getting her to take her "vitamins" now!


Look at all these great nutrients!
Your body will thank you.
And so will all those who will benefit from your improved mind and body function!

To try RE products for yourself, go to their website to find a retailer near you.
You're going to love it!
