Randomshitapalooza!

Hilarious! Britt from Mamapalooza writes some pretty funny stuff, but when she posted this on the Calendar, I was dieing! The name of the event "Randomshitapalooza" really does describe the Shell Factory perfectly. I can't believe the amount of things they have going on. Here's just a list of things there, off the top of my head.
Bumper boats, miniture golf, water wars, arcade games, nature park and Botanical garden that has animals such as racoons, bobcat, African serval, caracal, guinea pigs, alligators, snakes, frogs, llamas, goats, chickens, turkeys, sheep, bull calf, Zebra, and an Aviary where animals roam around right in front of you. There were peacocks, tortouses, iguanas and lots of birds that you could literally touch! They also have the Capt'n Fishbone's Restaurant. Inside the main building there is a ridiculous amount of stuff. I honestly have no idea how they get all that stuff in there. There's a fudge shop, a subway, a build-A-Bear type workshop, jewelry, weird taxedermy animals, millions of alligators jaws and an enormous collection of common and rare seashells, sponges, coral and fossils. They have nightlights, toilet seats, accent pieces, ceramic sculptures, wall hangings, mirrors, palm tree wine glasses, books, maps, cards and stationary, etc., etc., etc.... It seriously doesn't stop with all the "random shit"!

We always show up late to Mamapalooza events because they usually start at 10:00 and we don't get out of the gym till 10:15 at the earliest. When we got there we went straight to the Nature Center and Petting Zoo. The boys loved it. Although being around animals with the kids makes me nervous because they aren't always so gentle or cautious with the animals. I would be a little bit more relaxed if Glenn was with me so one of us could be with each of them.












The trip was a lot of fun. We'll have to go back again soon, because there is just way too much shit to see in only one day!
