4/6/09  Indiana Jones does not like snakes much.   An MRR foster Mom heard about Indiana from an acquaintance.  The family owned a snake and Indiana was meant to be the snake’s dinner.  Fortunately for our young boy the snake was shedding, therefore not hungry.  He was put in with the snake, but refused several times.  Phew!  The children in the […]
