This weekend Brooklyn has had a friend at the house so we went for a walk for ice cream this afternoon. As we walked to the store, we came across a man that has a pet Buffalo Snake. At least that is what he called it. We had a good time letting him crawl around and the girls had a blast holding him.
Of course, we were causing a lot of commotion which drew in a crowd from the neighborhood. Even some of the local children were not comfortable with this snake. He was very benign however, and didn't seem to mind receiving so much attention.
Brooklyn had a fun time holding this snake. She kept remembering the time we found a snake in Colorado and showed it to her grandma inside of her house. It's always fun to hear grandma scream like that!
Even though Brooklyn loves animals, this snake did get a little too curious for her taste. But, she handled his curiosity well and gently put him on the ground to slither away.
Finally, we made our way to the toko (store) and bought some ice cream cones. Right now in our busy and crazy life, it is the little things like ice cream cones and memories with exotic animals that are fun to experience...the little moments of life. I LOVE the little moments of life...
