Last weekend we took the boys to a little reptile zoo in West Valley City. I bought a groupon for it a few months ago, and decided to take a family outing so we could all get out of the house for a bit. I was largely disappointed at first because half of their animals were out for parties or other social events, so we didn't get to see the alligator and some of the other snakes and spiders. It wouldn't have been worth the money to go except we got to hold and pet some of the animals. The python was my favorite and I was really hoping I would get a chance to hold it. When he asked if anyone wanted to I jumped at the chance and he put it around my neck. I could not believe how heavy that thing was, it was 40 lbs! I never would've guessed by looking at the snake it'd be that heavy.
Zander kept asking him if he could touch it every couple minutes as our guide talked about the snake. Even Lucas pet the snake! Zander got to hold another snake a little closer to his size, and also asked to hold a tarantula! I couldn't believe he was actually asking to hold a spider! Zander is so afraid of the spiders at home, but he thought that was pretty cool.
