I don't like scorpions.

These pictures are pretty self-explanatory. We had a pretty interesting cultural excursion the weekend before last.  

Lest you think I was enjoying this experience . . .

Ok, this guy was pretty cute.

I was still a little nervous.

Python. Andrew could feel it constricting around his neck.

Cobras.

Say cheese.

Pucker up, buckaroo!

Yep, that's a snake head in his mouth.

Age 6.

I felt more comfortable here. 2 month old baby ellie.

Andrew riding his water buffalo. 

When we were leaving, the baby ellie had gone to sleep. So cute.

Andrew is getting really good with our new camera. 

Stopped by a beautiful lake on the way home. Little huts line the banks, and you can rent mats to sit on and tables to put your food on. Also you can buy food.

Very fun excursion. I liked the lake and butterflies and orchids best. Andrew liked the scorpions and snakes and buffaloes best. Combined, it was a perfect day for us!
