Living on the Edge

We spent the day with some friends at Okinawa World--A tourist attraction we haven't checked out yet. We had no idea we'd be risking our lives and the lives of our innocent children all for a little Japanese fun.
First we went down into the depths of the earth and walked through a HUGE cave. It took us about a half-hour to walk all the way through it.

Then we got our family picture taken with an albino Burmese Python. For the record, Randy was terrified and whining but I made him do it so our boys wouldn't think less of their old man. Randy cried on my shoulder after the ordeal was over. Or was that Landon? I forget. Luckily the snake had recently been fed or Landon would've made a tasty lunch.


And if that wasn't enough adventure, we went to a live snake show. The kids sat around the small 1-foot high stage where trained specialists showed us just how deadly Habus (Japanese pit vipers) and cobras can be. Habus can jump 10 feet to strike their prey. Our kids were sitting 3 feet away. Only in Japan.
