Looks like Kate is happy and content playing in the water or driving a car; whereas Garrett will take the easy life and just take a nap out in the pool. Maybe he is trying to work on his tan and catch up with Ryan. I'd love to trade you more Garrett pics Sheesh if you have any better pics of the kids on the waterfall. These are just the ones my mom got with the point and shoot. They are pretty blurry. You might have some better ones on your camera.

"The common Kingsnake is a nonvenomous member of the “harmless” Colubrid family which also includes such common snakes as Garter snakes, Gopher snakes, and Whip snakes.

The Kingsnake derives its name from its habit of eating other snakes. It is most famous for eating rattlesnakes and copperheads and for being immune to viper venom. The Kingsnake is actually a diet generalist and will eat, small rodents, snakes, lizards, birds and their eggs and even turtles and frogs. It is usually active in the morning and late afternoon but in extremely hot conditions will be found abroad at night. The Kingsnake locates and identifies its prey at night by using its sense of smell. If the prey item is a rattlesnake, the Kingsnake, being a constrictor, will bite the snake and immediately throw several coils around it and constrict it until it is disabled and exhausted and it will then be eaten, whether still alive or dead."

I am not quite sure what set him off but I was able to catch a bit of it on video. It was the perfect medicine for Steve after a very long day at work. Hope you all enjoy it as much as Steve did.

I just came home from Scout Camp (2 nights away from my family) and found Becca in this compromising situation . . . asleep in bed with a naked, younger man.

I decided that I needed to learn a new talent and discover the wonders of html. Although I really don't understand much of what I did, I revamped our blog to personalize it a little bit. I'm not married to it so please let me know what you think and if there is anything you want changed. I just picked the picture because we all agree the girls are adorable. Marnee - if you have a good picture that you think would be good to put on the page, please send it to me. Maybe we could do some kind of collage of all the grandkids since we don't have one of all of the kids together?

Thanks Nema and Hepa for a great trip!  We all had a blast!  Thank you for all you did to make it such a great week!
