Papa and the boys found some garter snakes in the mountains. Foolishly I let them bring them home and now they are our pets. The boys and their friends love them! 

Creepy Zach. 

Both snakes. 

Mitchell loves the snakes and holds them everyday. He has already taken them to show and tell at preschool.

We had a ward campout the weekend before school started. It was fun, the boys loved it. Especially the fire and darkness.

Mitchell wore a marshmallow for nose warmth (I'm guessing.) 

It was cold the next morning.

The boys had a pine cone war the next morning.

We had a tug of war. The bishop won. 

The boys chose to put out the fire by spitting water at it. It took a while. 

About to go home. 

I cut off most of my hair to donate.
