Snakes

As many of you know I have a big fear/hate of snakes.  I'm working hard to get over this, mainly so my kids don't know and tease me about it-bringing snakes to me...Anyways, Monday I looked at 2 snakes at Sci-Port and correctly identified the diamondback.  I thought that was great and figured I was done with snakes for awhile.  Little did I know that I would be seeing one on Thursday at Kira's birthday party!  Thankfully the kids haven't realized or inherited my fear and they had no problem touching it!  Callie was the first to go out of the whole group!  Anderson was 2nd and the only reason I got as close as I did (please admire the picture with half my body) is because Anderson was getting a little too friendly with the snake and was rubbing up and down and about to grab him, when they were supposed to be petting one way with two fingers!  They also got to see an owl and pet a turtle.  It was a great party!
