game's rained out -- let's go see some creepy crawlies!

on saturday afternoon, gabe's baseball game got cancelled about 45 minutes before the start of the game, but none of us were crying big buckets because it was pouring rain! the rain didn't actually cancel the game, rain cancels nothing up here, but the fact the field was one huge mud puddle does in fact cancel a game! so with lunch in our bellies, naps under our belts, we were ready to go with nowhere to go, so we had heard that there was a pretty cool reptile zoo in monroe, about 40 minutes north of here - so away we went! the reptile zoo looked like a big barn and smelled a little funky inside, but was totally awesome! we saw a giant anaconda, tarantulas, an alligator snapping turtle, an albino alligator, water dragons, iguanas, boa constrictors, a puff adder, a horned viper, and a black mamba! there were many other snakes and other creepy crawlies, too many to list! the boys got to see a snake eating -- a little gruesome, but the boys loved it! they also got to touch the shell of a spur thigh tortoise. grady was a little hesitant at first, but warmed up to the idea after big brother did it and came back with all of his fingers!
