Yesterday was a sad day in the Crosby household. Hollea's best friend/beloved pet millipede passed away. For those of you that don't know Hollea wants to be a forensic entomologist when she's older so we have bug jars all over the house. In 2007 then the "Bug Guy" came to the fair for kids day, he brought with him a Giant African Millipede, Tarantula, and Giant Hissing Cockroaches. Hollea got to hold the tarantula loved every minute of it! We were at the pet store shortly before it burnt down. They had several tarantulas that Hollea tried to talk me into getting for her and I wouldn't budge!! Then she saw the Giant African Millipedes and talked daddy into letting her have one. She took it to school for show and tell not only for her class but we had to take her around for all the classes to see and I was so proud of Hollea because she not only showed Queen off but also educated them about her. Needless to say we are in search of a new one hopefully though we can find one a little younger. Queen has now been added to her collection of deceased bugs.
On a lighter note yesterday was also our last Christmas party so I will be posting pictures soon!
Hollea with Queen on her arm after the pet parade 2008. Yes, Queen was as long as the bottom half of Hollea's arm.
