Boys and Snakes

Malachi is still very interested in SNAKES- especially the rattlesnakes. He was given a timber rattlesnake skin last week and he LOVES it. We have to remind him that its not for playing with- just for looking at. He also has earned enough money from doing chores, to be able to buy his own play snake at the gift shop. He didn't even chose a rattlesnake! :) He bought a king snake- one of the snakes that eats rattlesnakes.

The weather has been beautiful. God has blessed us with a nice break from the awful summer. In the evenings, Malachi likes to hunt bugs, spiders, and snakes. I do dread the day he screams "I found a snake" and it is true. :(

Saturday morning, Zachary was attending an educational program at the museum. It was a little chilly out and they let us hold Maynard, the kingsnake they use for education. He was wanting to cuddle up to get warm. Logan wasn't as thrilled holding him, but Malachi really loved him. He was a very kind, gentle snake.



The Rattlesnake bowling team had a win as well. Keaton, Malachi and Logan did great during their league bowling Saturday morning. It really is exhausting just watching Malachi hit gutter balls, but this time he had a score of 6 at the end of the game!

I found some "snake" books from my teaching materials. Kids (espeically boys) tend to really like nonfiction.
