Creature Feature
One of Jay's friends brought over a little bit of nature yesterday afternoon. The kids were so excited when dad told them Mr. Slater was bringing over a hognose snake and a box turtle! I was a little skeptical, not knowing anything about that particular kind of snake! Turns out, they are very cool and pretty docile.
When they feel threatened, they will roll over on their back and play dead. I think it'd had just about enough of Joshua!
Jake really enjoyed holding the snake and said he wanted to keep it. I read later that they are actually pretty easy to keep, but I don't think I'm ready for that kind of pet just yet!
McKenna enjoyed the turtle and avoided the snake entirely!
There are more pics of all the critter fun here.
