More fun while in Utah...

*Julie - this may freak you out a little, read with caution ;)

So another fun thing we experienced on our SLC trip was the reptile bday party going on in Grandma's neighbor's backyard - which they were super nice to invite the kids to! Yes, that is my daughter petting and loving a 15 foot anaconda!
And Traeden wearing a 7 foot Burmese python around his neck!
Jax enjoyed the snakes also, but the giant tortoise was definitely the most fun! He just chomped on the grass like he hadn't eaten in weeks.
It was a fun little surprise! My kids always love an opportunity to learn about and touch real animals!

Oh my gosh, if I had kids I could never watch a snake wrap itself around them! Of course, you couldn't get me close enough to see them anyway :)

HOLY CRAP!!! I am shocked ur kids, especially ur girl are so comfortable with them! That is awesome. You dont get that experience every day! ;)

Wow that is too cool. Sarah was looking at this with me and she agrees that looks like fun! I'm not sure if she would actually hold a huge snake though.
What a great summer memory.

You are one brave momma!

You and your kids are nuts! But I love you all anyway. :) Consider me officially disturbed for the year. I won 't even let my kids go near the glass cages at the zoo or aquarium! :)

What a fun time! I can't believe how willing your kids were to get up close and personal with the snakes!
