crawly

We learned about spiders today at the RBG. Our favourite takeaways included:
- the study in which spiders were given drugs to enhance their web building but only resulted in wacky webs
- the friendly tarantula tapping the glass (was he saying hi, or giving us the finger? We'll never know.)
- spiders will sometimes eat their webs for protein. Henry informed me he does not want to eat a web for protein. I informed him I have chosen a web-free diet for our family.
- the spider we could climb on (see girls, below)
- the spider that loomed overhead (watch out, Leo)

And then when we were done with spiders, we hung out in the spring flowers and dreamed of the day when it will stop snowing outside.

(Though she looks like she's trying to escape, Janie actually asked to have this picture taken. I guess this is how she poses.)
