I Don't Think Ness Will Like This!!!

But the kids are going SNAKE crazy!!! Ava and Eli got the opportunity to see a snake show at Church. They had already been reading about them and I think they almost have replaced dinosaurs in importance. But then this show sealed all our fates.

The handler brought a bunch of snake skins too! Here Ava is displaying them for all to see.
This was the pride and joy of the handler - Chiquita - an albino python. Thankfully, he told the kids that snakes can make good pets, but NOT one that gets as big as this one!

And yes, Eli is just as interested in them as Ava. (Because anything Ava likes Eli just HAS to like too!!)

Then, if fate didn't make this too easy, Ava and Eli were out walking with their Grammy talking about ... yes ... snakes when they came across two Garter snakes. And sadly, no fear from either of them :(

And so ... snakes are the animal of the month. One can only hope that this too shall pass, because you all know that if the kids want a snake for a pet (in the FFFAAARRR future) then it is definitely going to fall on daddy to house it. Because if any of you know Ness - pigs will fly and hell will freeze before she lives in a house with Chiquita.
