These first two pictures are from December 22, 2005. Jon and I were spending Christmas in Haiti with Michelle's family. Michelle told Jon that he could catch a tarantula and bring it home as a souvenir. After hearing that Jon was thrilled and could not wait to catch his own tarantula. The tarantulas would come out at night and the dog would bark when he found one. So Michelle, her Mom Cindy, and Jon would head outside to see if they could catch one.
As you see they did catch a tarantula, actually they caught more than one! I just had to share these pictures of Jon with his prized catch of the day.
Fast Forward, five years later...Michelle took the time to preserve Jon's tarantula forever. It makes for a great conversation piece when people come over and see it sitting in our house. I just laugh when I hear, "So...why do you have a tarantula?" Thank you Michelle that we will never again, now we will never have boring dinner conversation again!

I am here for you guys. I didn't want you ever to have those awkward dinner moments where no one knows what to say. =) It does make for an interesting story. =) And I am pretty sure that it was just Jon and my Mom, I don't think I went with them. Eww!
Thanks for always being there for us Chelle! You're probably right. I think I blocked the entire thing from my memory...too traumatizing.
Jon, do you remember Trinity's tarantula that she got at a homeschool conference when you all were 13? Harry Bob the tarantula lived until last year!
I do remember Trinity's tarantula. That's crazy that he lived so long. Hope y'all are doing well.
