Okay, this is going to give me nightmares for quite some time. The other day I was out jogging and saw something inside one of those cement boxes dug into the ground. I stopped and looked and saw the biggest black widow I have ever seen in my whole life. She has a gigantic egg sack as well. Seeing as how our family seems to be going the way of the Irwins (Croc Hunter) we called several places to see if they wanted to come and get the beauty. I think we have a taker, a 30 year arachnologist, or whatever they call themselves. Read that as someone who really loves spiders (which is definitely not me!) So we of course took the kids down to see it. Tristan was oooohhhing and aaaahhhing and being very croc hunter'ish about it all. Yesterday seemed to be our weird animal day: when Jaesen went to get Bug from zoo camp they walked through the butterfly garden and Jaesen almost stepped on a 6 foot black racer-he almost fell over in shock. Then the spider thing and then just when we thought it was safe, Jack comes running out of his bedroom screaming about seeing a snake. He saw it through his window, so Jaesen and I go outside to investigate and there is a 5 foot black racer. We were worn out by all the animal excitement and went to bed at 930.
