At the reptile show Dad, Austin and Livy had so much fun.

"Livy, you are so daring!"

Careful... It looks like it is going up your sleeve.

Livy has no fear!

It was a good thing this 21 foot burmese python just had dinner.

Dad was skittish until he saw this cool albino bermese python.

How could he go to a reptile show and not get a photo with a snake?

Austin and Brendon had to tag team this big one!

Austin wanted to hold every snake he saw.

Zach and Dad playing "Tongue Tongue".

Our yearly Logan trip.

This time we went to the Logan Zoo, Pepperidge Farms and Gossner Foods.

All before heading to the Traditional Pumpkin Walk.

We forced Zach to lay down in the Logan leaves much to his dismay.

This year the theme was popular commercials from years past.

Every scene had a pumpkin "M&M" hidden within it.
