Southern Forest World was offering free admission on Arbor Day, so the kids and I decided to pay a visit. Olivia hadn't been here since she was in Kindergarten, and Owen has never visited- which is a shame because it is so close by. We had a great time looking at the exhibits and talking to the special presenters who were on hand for the special event. The highlight of our visit was the chance to see Stuckie the dog. This poor fellow chased an animal up a hollow tree trunk years ago, got stuck (thus the name "stuckie"), died, and became mummified due to the natural preservatives found in the tree. Olivia was a little spooked by the dog, but Owen was quite interested in him. Before we left, we were given three dogwood trees which we planted at Gigi and Papa's house. It was a fun morning.
