Max and Charlotte Get Cold-Blooded

Charlotte and Max (and Jenn and I) attended a birthday party thrown for the son of one of Jenn's girlfriends last Saturday.  The party was a hit, with not one but several highlights.  Among them were some special guests escorted by a local reptile wrangler.


Charlotte made a new friend, an African spurred tortoise.

And Max met a Chinese water dragon.

Personally, I was much more comfortable with Max and Charlotte hanging out with this guy than with the Burmese python.

They both liked the reptiles.  But I couldn't help noticing that Max seemed more intrigued by the trees.  He's fascinated by the plants outside our home, too.  Is my son perhaps destined to be a botanist?  More importantly, why do I feel compelled to make such wild extrapolations and to try to see the future?
