Rattlesnake Training Part II



We took Bayley back to Rattlesnake Training to make sure she remembered what she learned 3 months ago. We also took Jesse (The Kolman's dog) and she hated it! When I took Bayley up to visit the snake, she stood behind me the entire time. The snake was bobbing and weaving with it's eyes fixed directly on Bayley (and I) and clearly telling us to go home! The snake was de-fanged so we were in no danger - but coming this close to a rattlesnake in the middle of the desert is still no fun!

Brooke Trip to Long Island


Here are some pics from our trip to Long Island in July. We stayed at Daryl's house for the weekend and got to see everyone sooner than we expected. We felt the humidity almost immediately. We have only been in Arizona for a few months and can really feel the difference. We went out on the boat and caught over a dozen flounder.... tossed Jack in the air until our shoulders hurt.... and played Apples to Apples all night. This was our 4th straight summer visiting Daryl and Susanne.
