My Nephew (my sister's son)

This weekend I went tubing with my sisters. Tubing is when you get in a tube (like the ones in this picture)

Then you float down the river, swimming and having fun. We saw big snapping turtles (like this one)

Then we floated over some rapids. We went very fast and my sisters were scared.

When I left to go to Nablus last year, I left my kayak with a friend. This week I got it back. Here is a picture. I'll take more when I get it in the water and there might be a special surprise friend kayaking with me.

Yesterday my sister and my father caught a snake. This is it. We took it to my sister's house so she could let it go.

I am not close to the snake because it was very angry that we caught it. It isn't dangerous because there is no poison but its bite can still hurt you a little. It is called a Black Rat Snake
