Departure

Well, the date is set and the tickets are booked. On April 16 we will be leaving for Australia. We fly out of Calgary to Vancouver where we switch planes and board for a 15 1/2 hour flight to Sydney. From there we fly to Adelaide and our host family will meet us there. We are both very excited to go! We have started the packing and are almost through our list of things to do before we go. However, that list is still fairly long!!

Our Pets

When most people think of the perfect pet, they think of a cat or maybe a dog. Well, this is not so in our house. The only pet we keep at our house is Rusty. Rusty is our 3 foot corn snake. He is a very calm and friendly snake. Since we got him in September, he has grown almost two feet! We have got alot of questions about him so here are some pictures to ease the curiosity!!

At Christmas, we got Rusty his own stocking. We would take him out of his tank and let him crawl in it every once in a while. There were a few times where he would have a good nap all curled up in the toe!!


We also have a dog. However, conveniently he is still at Mom and Dad's!! Spencer is a very hyper-active Chocolate Lab who will do any trick for a treat!!
