La Paz Gardens

La Paz Gardens and waterfalls were Collin's favorite. Even when a crazy parot decides he want to eat Collin's hat.
And when a crazier toucan thinks he's like to nibble on dad's toes (you should see the video - pretty funny stuff.)He got to see, and hold, many different kinds animals: tree frogs,
macaws, (notice they always stay in pairs - how romantic :)

butterflies and his favorite - the toucan!
And of course Collin made more friends. He even exchanged e-mail addresses with the girl working in the snake house.
There are 5 beautiful waterfalls that you can walk by after seeing all the local animals and insects.

On the way home they stopped by a little restaurant that was closed for a employee party. That didn't stop Collin from playing with a little 2 yr old who ended up being the owner's grandson. Once the owner was done eating he made Chad and Collin some great food for cheap then motioned them to follow him across the street. In the backyard of his house a friendly dog came up to welcome them ... then a friendly deer did the same thing. Seems they have a semi-pet deer that they feed. So Collin got a chance to hand feed him too.
