Rattlesnake Hunting

Chris built this great trap to trap the rattlesnake in and guess what he didn't even need it. The box was lined with sticky traps so that the snake would get stuck and not be able to get out. When Chris got home today he went out in the backyard with his headlamp on and his shovel and low and behold there was the snake crawling along the fence. Chris stabbed the snake with the shovel and cut its head off. He said that the snake didn't even know he was coming and didn't even have a chance to coil up. Here are the pictures:

Finally an Arizonian

So I finally took the jump and got my car registered. Legally you are supposed to do it within ten days of moving into the state but I made it through seven months without getting pulled over. Yah!! And the picture of the bush is where a rattlesnake has taken up residence underneath. We believe that since there was a pack rat living underneath it the snake took its hole over. There are several tunnels in and out of the bush. So we aree not sure how we are going to get the snake out. It has not been there that we know of for the last two days. So hopefully it doesn't have babies in there.

Murder in Sin City mystery party

We got invited to a murder mystery party and we all got roles to play. Throughout the night we were given clues and tasks full of scandalous details that we could only divulge to certain people. By the end of the night we had to figure out who the murderer was. I was Colleen Candy a classy call girl and Chris was Senator Justice, the senator of Nevada. It was really fun and we had a great time. Here are some pictures from that

night.

Paul and JoAnn's visit

Chris' parents came down to Tucson for a quick visit the first weekend of October. It was really nice to see them and I think Chris had a great time while they were here. Unfortuneately since I am a fairly new employee at my job I don't have a lot of PTO saved up yet so I could not take off any time from work. But Chris had a great time. These pictures are from the Desert Museum. We finally got to get some up close photos of the javelina. They looked so cute sleeping but I am sure that they are not that cute in person.

Tombstone

Here are some of the pictures of Tombstone. It was really neat. You walk down the main road of Tombstone and it is like walking back in time. The people that live in Tombstone dress up and hang out on the main street all day. They have gun fights and old horse drawn buggies that will take you around town. Its a sight to see or as they say its "The city that never wants to die."

This is the old Boothill Graveyard they have as you enter into Tombstone. It is where some of the old westerners are buried. It was really cool to see. It wasn't creepy though, just cool.
