They're braver than I am!

Our library was having their summer reading kickoff
party and this is some of the things they had there.
(sorry the pics aren't so good, I had to use my cell)

The girl's face in the background is pretty good...
There were hissing cockroaches in this one and
ended up being Kayleigh's favorite. I couldn't
keep her away from them and then she cried
when we left.

That's Brant saying, "I want to hold it"! He
loved the snakes and even grabbed the head
of one and tried to kiss it before I could stop him.
You could hear everyone around us gasp.
He couldn't keep his hands off the scorpion either...
They were all safe for kids to touch but I was
having a heart attack anyways.

Oh to be a fearless kid. But not all snakes and spiders are harmless and younger kids can't tell the difference. Love Dad
p.s. sorry about Brant's name my bad.

Ah! I remember that time we went for a walk and saw the tarantula. I remember how the kids wanted to stay and watch it but you were like okay let's keep walking.

oh scary! I would be jumping out of my skin too. Who knows why kids are so attracted to ugly looks reptiles. :) Miss you guys!

holy grossness! lol! That just freaks me out looking at it. I am left wondering what Marlee would do with all those gross things though.

How fun! I used to have a pet snake in my classroom...just a little garter snake the kids found on the playground. I actually really liked him...who would've thought I'd be a snake lover?! Ha! Now, anytime the kids at school find a snake, they all come running to my classroom asking if I want it as a pet. They beg, but I just tell them it's too much work to take care of it.
