Scott and I are not afraid of snakes.
Here we are as a tourist attraction at the Bangkok Snake Farm. People couldn't believe that we'd actually put a snake on our necks and asked to take our photo. Wimps! Emily was not afraid of snakes either - as a baby.
One she hit about two she wouldn't even touch this fake one she used to sleep with! Snakes were "TOO SCARY!" I was a bit concerned that she would grow up to be a person who didn't want to touch a snake but would instead take photos of other people touching them. What kind of photo album does that make?Today we had a field trip with Molly's preschool to see The Critter Lady. Oh, she was fun. She brought a skink, two different lizards, an African hedgehog a tortoise and an orange snake named Pumpkin. Emily didn't want to touch any of these creatures . . .
until Molly willingly put a snake around her neck.
Then Emily decided to join in on the fun too. I was so proud of Emily and Molly! They were very brave. Heidi, on the other hand, was not quite so brave. Luckily she was fashionable. Hopefully she will be brave someday soon.

That picture of Emily asleep as a baby looks so much like HEIDI!
I am afraid of snakes...HATE 'em. Sorry.
I can't believe that those cute little girls put a snake around their necks. I am with Heidi, deathly afraid of snakes, and would have nightmares for weeks if I did that.
I'm a woosie... but you can pay me to put a snake around me neck :)
I'm with Heidi on this one: I would MUCH rather wear my swimsuit to a school event than put a snake around my neck.
Don't underestimate the power of a strong sense of fashion. That girl is going places. Hopefully someplace with a pool.
How exciting--snakes! Any snake that is named Pumpkin is a nice snake for sure. You girls looked cute--I wonder if the snake was afraid of you?
Remember my college roommate "Monte"? He was lovely. To bad the rest of my roommates didn't agree.
Speaking of snakes. I like snakes too. Good thing because my cats bring them home--into the house often. Yesterday, my cat brought me one. Large, black, VERY long. Unfortunately I didn't notice my present until after I had run him over with the van. I took out his lower half. Oops!!
I couldn't deal with it with two babies. So I ran them upstairs and came back down to "take care of it". No snake, no guts, no cat??? Ummmmmmm . . . where did they go? Who knows? I did find snake guts splattered all over the garage door frame though. They say it tastes like chicken . . .
