Another great week gone by- we've been lucky to meet some awesome people and visit lots of beautiful spots, including the village of Arden, Sharbot Lake Provincial Park, Silver Lake Provincial Park and Almonte Herbfest...
It's all been great, but lets break it up with some dirt on US- the crazy ones that our snakes and turtles are so good to put up with ;)
Today we'll share some fun facts about Mr. Adam:
Adam: Snake-wrangler extraordinaire. A 3rd-year U. of Guelph student hailing from St. Catharines, Ontario. On his 2nd season as a Scales Nature Park employee.
Some of Adam's favourite things to do include Herping (looking for reptiles and amphibians), having dance-parties, watching wrestling, hanging out in the library, and sharing a drink on a patio.
Favourite Foods: Most anything. Adam isn't picky for the most part, and he has a real affinity for mustard. He's a vegetarian like myself (Amanda)... we're working on Katrina next ;) Strangely enough, Adam does not enjoy chocolate! Weird.
We've found Adam to be really great at getting audiences pumped up for our shows, he is a big bundle of energy! If you want a cheesy joke, he's your go-to guy. He loves to swim, and if there's a pond or lake around you can guarantee he'll be in it if we've got more than 15 minutes to spare. He's a big country music fan, and actually downloaded the 'Top 500' country songs of all time. We only listen to it in shifts, for fear of overdosing on twang.
Awesome things he's done: Adam has seen most of Ontario's 8 turtles in the wild (as he is the self-proclaimed Blanding's Whisperer), and the only one he's missing is his favourte, the WOOD TURTLE. We're on our way to wood turtle country, the Upper-Ottawa valley and Algonquin Park area, so fingers crossed a shy little wood turtle will show himself. He's a real natural with reptiles, as he grew up helping his grandparents at the Seaway Serpentarium in Welland.
Adam is full of fun facts, and if there is something he's not sure of he'll be on Google as soon as he can to find the truth. Most of all, he loves roadtrips. Yay Adam!
This is Amanda, signing off... see you next time!
