Desert Friends

Dillon & Degan petting a horny toad!

Dillon & Degan in 2007 with some turtles

Living in the desert you never know what you might come across, especially when you live out in the boonies like we do! We've seen some cool desert animals and some not so cool desert animals! Of course we have lizards by the dozens that the boys try to catch but never do cause they are way to fast! On this particular day with the horny toad he just sat there and let them pick him up and pet him. The boys thought it was cool he wasn't running away!! another one of our favorite visitors was the turtles that showed up in our backyard after a rainstorm, totally random and we've never seen another turtle since!! Some of the not so cool desert friends are the scorpions that like to hide in the garage and the time we had two baby rattle snakes in our courtyard, it was so scary cause Dillon walked right past one before he spotted it and went and told Darin! I could do without the snakes & scorpions but I guess that's just part of living in the desert!!
