I was a little surprised that, as fragile as this flamingo was, he was not cordoned off the way Fancy Bird (the ostrich) was.

You know if those "friends" weren't stuffed, they'd be scary.

I like the mosaic tiles on this one.

Yeah, it surprised me that--for such a girly girl--the stuffed animal The Bug wanted from the gift shop that day was a snake. Of course, it is pink. LOL

And she's using it like a feather boa.

Heather said...

Yup. That's my girl, LOL!

Pretty. He does look super fragile, though.

Yes, he was, and I did see a couple of kids hanging around his neck. I kept cringing and waiting for it to snap--and I *did* say something to parents and kids and point out the sign saying NOT to do so when I was close enough. Literacy is soooo overrated, you know. :-\
