Richards brother Dave- "uncle dave" came out from Georgia for 10 days and since that only happens about once a year- we usually have a "jones" family reunion of sorts! So this year we had a couple of family dinners and also went to the Kirshner Wildlife Foundation in Durham. I have always wanted to go there and it is so cool- I will post pics of the cool animals they have there later- they even have a Liger (it's like my favorite animal).
They also have some really cool reptiles- one of which is this Boa named Shimmer which my kids loves and all held! Notice who there is not a picture of- their "not so found of snakes" mother. I petted her, but had no desire to give her a shoulder ride!
