Boy Heaven

What is the saying? "Snakes, snails and puppy dog tails"? Well, they sure got the snake part right!



This evening, Thomas and Gordon and I went into Logan Canyon to participate in the Reptile presentation by the folks at Stokes Nature Center. It was really fun! We got to touch two live snakes-- a gopher snake and a garter snake (both non-venomous)-- and we discussed several different kinds of reptiles. An interesting tidbit: Did you know that more people die each year from bee stings than they do from snake bites? Maybe Indiana Jones needs to rethink his greatest fear!

I think our little adventure was as close as we can get to Heaven for our Gord. Look at the expression of pure affection on his face as he meets a garter snake!


We took our obligatory jaunt to the river and Gordy came prepared. He is just too cute-- and 100% boy!
