Crickey....we'll miss you, Steve!


It is with heavy heart that our family says "Farewell" to the Crocodile Hunter. Steve Irwin stirred something within us when we first saw his television show 5 or 6 years ago. He had such a passionate way of sharing God's creatures that made children (and adults) everywhere feel as enthusiastic as he did about saving their habitats. I appreciated his humor and tenderness that flowed through the TV screen. My daughter (who was in 2nd grade at the time) knew in an instant that she wanted to do the very same thing when she grew up. Well....here we are surrounded by a zoo of reptiles, amphibians, insects, and arachnids with a mission to excite children about the world around them. Using Steve as a classic example, I reminded my girls to follow in his footsteps; find something that you love doing and follow your dreams...By Crickey!
