We actually went on a real life homeschool field trip yesterday.
It's been a year since we met up with the nearest group of homeschoolers.
"Nearest" is such a misleading word.
They meet a little over an hour away and that just doesn't qualify as "near" to me.
But they were closer to us this time!
We got to visit a planetarium and a reptile exhibit.
One of the coolest parts was getting up close and personal with this guy:He's an Eastern Indigo Snake and he is gorgeous! The nice lady holding him let us pet him.
We actually have a few of these in our "yard" but only because we're surrounded by woods.
The best news about this fella is:
"They can eat rattlesnakes and other pit vipers because they are immune to their venom."

We also have rattlesnakes and pit vipers in our area.
I love you, Mr. Snake.
