This Saturday the LSU Vet school had its open house. I think Katie had been before, but I don't know that Emma had ever been. The open house was 30 years old this year (almost as old a me..tee hee). It is a lot of fun and this biology teacher really loves it.
 |
| At the beginning of our tour |
 |
| petting the precious bunny |
 |
| touching a cow eye (my brave girls) |
 |
| In case you are wondering, the purpose of the fistulated cow is to breed good bacteria to help other cows! I had to ask, of course |
 |
| who was the only one brave enough to stick their hand in the cow? |
 |
| ... the biology teacher! |
 |
| "Thanks for violating me, Mrs. Carroll" |
 |
| Emma loved all the horses at the school. |
 |
| "Can we have horses in The Willows"? |
 |
 |
| Emma's friend, Molly. |
One of the coolest parts was the equine treadmill. I had never seen this, and they can get the horses running 35 mph. I've never been so close to a horse going so fast. Very cool.
 |
| checking out more horses - my city girl kids were fascinated. |
 |
| Emma figured out that if she held the hay up to them, they would eat out of her hands. |
 |
| some of the rehabilitated birds |
 |
| Getting to ultrasound some things |
 |
| Emma felt some cow lungs - they were huge! |
 |
| my future scientists checking out some parasites under the microscope. |
 |
| Hard to see, but this is Mike the Tiger! |
 |
| A great time was passed by all...off to Johnny's pizza for lunch! |
