Sophie the Snake Charmer...

So I took the girls to scouts with me tonight so I'd have an excuse to leave early, but we ended up staying later than we had hoped because it was Reptile Night! The scouts were doing their reptile merit badge so they all gather at one of the kids house that has a bunch of snakes as pets...I guess a dog was just too much work, who knows.


At first they were both a little nervous as we walked in to greet the giant iguana, Chloe began to wonder if she had made the right choice by going with daddy to see the snakes, she had me by the sleeve for the first 5 minutes. A few of the boys were showing off the snakes to the girls and one of them asked Soph if she wanted to hold one and right away she shook her head yes!



Chloe on the other hand needed some encouragement, she was going off of her knowledge that snakes eat you and they aren't know as pets in her mind. She kept asking before we went if they were going to be in cages. She warmed up and become partial to the little black and white king snake...I have to admit I didn't hold them, too creepy, I was better at nudging the girls along!!



I think its pretty clear who the tomboy is in our family...
