Tarantulita

Cute Cayd before church with his tie and Puppy.

After Church, we fed the missionaries and in our Naples Branch it has now become tradition for the Elders to hold Dad's Tarantula, named "Tarantulita" before they leave. i thought it fitting to show the brave Elders, children and even visiting friends :).

 Elder Glover, the first brave Elder :)

 Big Brave Bryt

 Elder Andersen had no real fear of spiders.

 Makayla, who thought putting it on your face would make a cool picture....crazy kids!

 Gavyn is never one to be left out of this kind of fun.

 The Elder from Nepal & France with Elder Ames along with some of the other animals.

 Elder Packard, no he's not related to Elder Packer

 Elder Ames, by far the Most Improved Elder in his fear of spiders. This poor Elder was TERRIFIED of any spider!!! He had to stand far away and sweated to watch his companion get close. Then after his 3rd visit, he surprised us and said, "Okay, if I do it will you leave me alone?" Not only did he hold it, but eventually let it get this close. Go Elder Ames!!

 Our friends the Hilts

Cute Cayd always has to have his turn!
