Reptile Gardens

Ok, so this is the day we left for South Dakota, but I wanted to show everyone how big Sammy's getting! He has begun to sit up, with help getting there, and he has been rolling over tons. We think it was the influence of his first(?) cousin, Samantha who is a few months older and can already crawl all over the place.
Here are the kids at the family reunion inside a coiled-up snake. On the left is Julianna, middle is Matt, on the end is Jake and behind Jake is Daniel and way in the back is my Uncle Gerrit helping his son Jackson get in for the picture.
We got to watch an alligator show while we were visiting and this guy wrestled the alligator and showed us how to grab it's mouth, etc. One of the interesting things about alligators is that they can sink their eyes down into their skull. He kindly demonstrated this by pushing down on the alligator's eyes, it looked kinda gross. After the show, they let us pet a baby alligator, it was pretty cool!
This is my Aunt Stephanie and her little sweetie, Samantha I was talking about earlier. It got a little confusing because we both call our babies Sammy, so we had to call hers Sammy Jo to distinguish the two, but they both still looked when you called!
