Creepy, Crawly, Family Day!

In July Daddy took some days off so we got to have a little mini(van) adventure! We loaded up in the car and headed north to see what we could find.

We drove up and had a yummy breakfast at a little diner. Then we decided to keep going and visit Montezuma's Castle. When we got there, they had found a rattle snake and were in the process of checking it out and tagging it. Here is a picture of it - most of it is in the tube, and the tail is hanging out:When we were finished watching them with the snake, we walked down the path to see Montezuma's Castle:
A very nice park ranger took our picture:

On our way back up the path we found another snake. This one wasn't as big as the one the rangers caught, but we thought it was pretty neat, anyway!

While Mommy was waiting for us she looked up on the wall and found this BIG beetle:

After our breakfast and 'hike' we were so worn out from all the excitement...

Well, some of us were... :)
