I've mentioned before that there's a lot of reasons I love going home to Iowa. Yet another reason is that it gives my kids a chance to enjoy nature in a way they can't living in Oak Park. Erin found these baby brown snakes early this morning, and spent quite awhile charming these little critters. She asked if she could bring them back to Oak Park and make them pets. The answer was no. I just didn't have the vibe that these snakes were making a bold move to domesticate themselves the way Les did this past summer. And besides, there's currently five pets and five people in our house. I don't want to be outnumbered.
