Coloradooooo!

I just returned from Colorado. This summer has sucked so much that I decided to take a trip out there to clear my head and find my center....sorta decompress. Well, my Mom has had a sh*tty summer too, so my Dad and I talked her into going with me! We had a blast. Heck, that isn't even a big enough word. My mom is my best friend. We always have so much fun together, and I have always wanted to take a trip with her. We visited the Great Sand Dunes, Taos, New Mexico and several museums, including one of my absolute favorites, the Sternberg in Hays, Kansas. If you dig prehistoric stuff (literally and figuratively) then you would LOVE that place. Very cool.

So I am on a high still, and feeling great. I also came home to a totally unexpected thing: five baby snakes that my garter snake had while I was gone! For those who don't know, garter snakes give live birth rather than laying eggs. So Carter the Garter is definitely a girl. And the babies are adorable. I'll probably post pictures soon. I haven't gotten them to eat yet, but I'd like to raise them if I can get them to.

Maybe this year is finally looking up.
