Slithering Friends

We spent part of Labor Day weekend at the Marriott’s Desert Ridge, where the snake and reptile exhibit quickly became a hit with the kids.

As you can see, our little Dawson wasn’t the least bit intimidated by the size or the looks of these creatures. The girls even warmed up to the critters.

Me?

Not so much.

I was perfectly content experiencing the whole thing from behind my camera. That is, until one of those creepy crawlers stretched out its enormously long, slithering tongue and touched my leg while I was busy snapping pictures.

That was a little closer to nature than I had planned.

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

The kids, however, thought the whole thing was pretty great. And judging by Dawson getting right down on the floor beside that enormous snake, I think we know which side of the reptile debate he’s on.

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! This is gonna be a fun week! Late night movies, pizza, chocolate cake and popcorn.  Afternoon and late night swimming.  Shopping bags galore. New shades of lipstick.  Yep, that pretty much sums up the week.  Now hide the Nordi bags girls Mr. B.T.C is coming home:)

CALI TRIP

Craig Family Vacation Fall 2014 from Lorri Craig on Vimeo . The kids wanted to head to Cali over Fall Break. I had a few other ideas in mind, but the boys had their hearts set on taking their dirt bikes along and trying out some of the tracks in Southern California.  It turned out to be a good idea because they seriously had the time of their lives. Like Father, Like Son... There is nothing like family trips! We bond, laugh and create memories.  We sure did miss our oldest son Nathan.  He put it best when in a recent letter when he said,  "Well right about now you are probably on vacation. It's a bummer we're not all together, but that's alright! I'm over here bringing souls unto Christ, so I win!"   You can read more about his adventures HERE .
