Then we looked at the buildings. One was a log cabin and as us mothers encouraged awareness of the stove in the middle of the room and how cold it must have been and what it would be like with toddlers, etc....the children pondered how the squirrels nest got in there and if they were allowed to keep the squirrels as pets a hundred years ago...lol Best part, sinking the pretend titanic.... I agree with you, "more important to allow ample time for Climbing Very Big Trees and Dipping Fingers into Fountains. Sometimes the dead chicken really is the best part of the art museum. Even when it's a duck." Dead chicken…lol

I think definitly duck, looking at the feet) personally, I like the way it really looks HEAVY, you can really see the suspension, if you see what I mean. having followed the link and clicked around - I’m intriguied as to WHY she liked it so much? the light? the fact it was a chicken (or duck.
