Formerly known as the "Bug Bowl" at Purdue, each spring they have a large outdoor festival where different clubs and majors have different booths with activities for kids and adults. Activities range from the Entomology department's "petting zoo", complete with tarantulas, foot-long millipedes, and bright blue caterpillars, to the "Hort" club selling all sorts of plants and flowers to all other sorts of things. We declined to enter the cricket spitting contest or the cockroach races, but we did find some things for the whole family to enjoy.Picture of Caden with his current form of sitting up. Most of the time he ends up bent over with his head on the ground, unable to sit back up.
Caden and Mom in front of the sheep. These lucky sheep hadn't yet taken part in the sheep-sheering activities.
Caden and Daddy with a baby duck. I know it looks like Caden is scared, but really, he had been upset right before this, and the baby duck made him stop crying. 
Not only was the duckling giving Caden duck-billed kisses, he climbed all over Caden and Jess. We had to keep him from diving off Jess's shoulder. Again, Caden wasn't scared of the duck- he was just mad his binkie was not available.

Mom touching a tarantula for the first time. And I used to own one!
(Long story made short: gag gift from friends because I absolute hate spiders. It was banished to the basement and I never once did a thing for it. My poor mom)
Caden didn't really care about the huge millipede in Dad's hand- he wanted to grab the camera

Gross. That millipede is one of the grossest things - almost as bad as a centipede.
