Pennsylvania Truck Rally – Children’s Reptile Program

Saturday Afternoon, June 27

This post should have been ahead of last night’s entry, but I guess it won’t matter if the last two entries are not in chronological order. 🙂

1Jesse Rothacker with Forgotten Friends is a Truck Rally favorite – of the children and adults.

1aSince Jere helped Jesse find his spot in the building, Jesse, Ian, and Jared were there to help him unload. He was glad for the extra helpers as he had a tight schedule – having traveled to the Lebanon Expo from another event.

DSC_5678He promptly followed them – devouring them as he went.

DSC_5697Notice his car in the background. Jesse said he was especially glad for the ability to drive inside to unload since it was raining quite heavily when he arrived.

DSC_5700He asked Jared to lift the tortoise.

DSC_5702The two Jesse’s. He asked our Jesse to help with this snake. If I remember correctly it was a plastic snake to teach them to distinguish between this snake and the next one which is real.
