What better way to celebrate Groundhog Day (a little late, but still) than to meet an actual groundhog (or two)?! That's exactly what Emma and I did at the library for this awesome playdate!
The Piedmont Environmental Center visited the library with two of their groundhogs, Hansel & Gretel. Hansel & Gretel were rescued, along with their siblings, after their mother was accidently cleared while a man was clearing some of his land. While their siblings were taken to another rescue facility, Hansel & Gretel were taken in by the Piedmont Environmental Center. Unfortunately, because of their condition when they were taken in, these groundhogs cannot be released back into the wild so they will stay at the environmental center.
The keepers came in and told us their story, shared some interesting groundhog facts with us, showed us a video about what all they do and some of the animals they take care of, and answered some hilarious questions from the kids. Afterwards, we got the opportunity to meet and pet the groundhogs. You wouldn't believe how sweet and soft they are!
Here are some of my favorite shots from this unique playdate:
Ready to learn some cool groundhog facts! Did you know that groundhogs eat fruits and vegetables, just like us??
How cute is he???
Little E was in love! She kept asking when we could get our own groundhog.
