On a weekend we went to a cloud forest in Costa Rica. What is a cloud forest you ask? It is a rainforest in the mountains and believe us there is whole lot a clouds! In the cloud forest we saw a lot of cool creatures. We went to an aviary and watched all sorts of tropical birds. Really loud macaws, majestic birds of prey, a crazy looking bird that looked like a clown and more! But, the most amazing thing that happened in the aviary was that we kissed a toucan! How? The bird trainer put a toucan treat between our lips and the toucan took the treat right out of our mouths! 
There was more that happened in the cloud forest than birds. There were also reptile and amphibian houses. In the reptile house we got to hold a harmless snake. We also got to see a very deadly snake called the fer-de-lance. In the amphibian house, well actually the frog house, we went in a room with captive poisonous frogs jumping around free! Why didn't we get poisoned? For starters, we didn't touch them. But the really cool fact is that once poisonous frogs are in captivity the LOOSE their poison. Another cool thing that happened in the frog house is that we go Red Eyed Tree Frogs on our face! I repeat. We got Red Eyed Tree Frogs on our face! They needed to stay wet and we needed to wash off our hands before we held them. We had a fun time in the cloud forest!
