Going to Ryan's house is almost as much fun as the aquarium. Claire has always had a "special" relationship with his turtle "Mikey". He got Mikey as a present from Josh for his 20th birthday. He was just a little guy then. When Claire came to visit later that year, she loved to sit and watch him. If she was watching him from one side and he was facing the other he would jump down off his sunning rock and climb back on facing her. It was absolutely uncanny! It happened several times. So, when we went over to Ryan's he watched her the whole time she was near his aquarium. He still loves her!
Claire wasn't real sure about the snakes though. But, I have to say she is a brave little girl. I have yet to touch one of the snakes, I am just now able to be in the same room with them. After much encouragement from Ryan she eventually did touch the tail of the little corn snake. She wouldn't touch the big one that he got out though - can't blame her there. She asked Ryan to get out the little one again so she could touch it again. So brave!!
