slithering friends

We spent some time at the Marriott's Desert Ridge over Labor Day weekend. The snake and reptile exhibit was a hit for the kids. As you can see.. our little Dawson wasn't intimidated by the the size or looks of these reptiles. The girls even warmed up to the critters.

I didn't share their enthusiasm!

Especially when one of the little creepy crawlers reached out its enormously long slithering tongue and touched my leg while I was busy snapping photos.

I realize there are reptile lovers out there but clearly I'm not one of 'em!

The boys (Wes and Dawson) are off to scout camp.  Mr. B.T.C and Nathan just left on a hunting trip to Utah.  That leaves me and the girls home alone.  Get ready to shop until you drop girls!

She is extremely bright and ready to get to work. Breeley is a FIFTH grader.   I can't believe it!  She makes friends easily and is happy to meet her "new friends". Dawson is in 8th grade.   This will be his last year of Jr. High!  Oh boy- I'm sure he will make it a memorable year (His poor teachers).  He happens to be the "funny kid" in school.  We've gotten to know all his teachers a little more than we would have liked to.
