Our new pet


One day we found a salamander down in the window well. The kids thought it was the coolest. Tanner picked it right up and was carrying it around. I thought Lexi wouldn't like it, but she ran right over to it. I thought she was going to pick it up, but at the last second she decided not to. Tanner named the salamander root beer. I wonder if that had anything to do with the root beer he had to drink a few hours earlier?
The kids played with "root beer" for a while until it was time to go inside for the night. I was very impressed with Lexi she was not scared of it at all, but she was just fine not to hold it either.

The kids had to show all the neighbor kids. In this picture is Dylan & Jake White our neighbors across the street. They were both into the salamander picking it up and playing with. The kids ran over to the Merrill's and knocked on the door so they could show Isac & Emily. when it was time to go in the kids put the salamander in Monica Merrill's bird bath. Our kids were sad the next morning when the salamander was no where to be found.
