George the Snake


We went down to Gunnison to help with the hay (Brian helped and Tanner and I were just along for the ride). Toward the end of the day Brian found a baby blow snake. The boys were both in love with it, Tanner more so if he could look at it, but not touch it. So we found a bucket that was nearly as tall as Tanner and put the "nake" in it. Tanner carrried the thing all over the place. He showed it to Grandpa and brought it in Grandma's house to show her and Aunt Cindy,( there it was named George). Brian was sure that it needed to come home with us, so while he was distracted by food and T.V., Cindy helped me convince Tanner that George needed to go back home to his mommy and daddy. With a little whimper from Tanner the "nake" was released. Thank Goodness!

That is one creepy pet that I would not let in my house! Good thing you sent it "home" to it's mommy and daddy!

I can just see Brian saying it needed to come home and you talking to Tanner about it. Good think it worked to your advantage.

I love your stories. Tanner is such a boy. Baseball games, fishing, snakes...he is such a cute little man.

Mogle's and snakes don't mix together! Good luck on making it "back" and starting things up.

We're jealous that you have landed in Sanpete.

Miss ya! Glad to hear that "George the Snake" is not your new pet! Hope you are doing good. Tell Tanner and Brian hello from us!

How funny!! Tanner is hilarious. I hope you guys are enjoying your new place. Sorry it has been a while, we have been so busy lately. Ben starts school this coming tuesday and I am still in search of a job. Not very fun. Well I miss you, so keep in touch.

Hey! Glad that we found you from Paul and Tara.
Congrats on graduating and getting a real job. Where are you? Sanpete? That is what we gathered from the Mogle's comment.
Anyway...call us sometime. Maybe we could all meet up and have a grand reunion in...wherever is central for everyone!
