Snails on Crack!

This is by far the largest snail I have EVER seen!

The missionaries had come over to our house and as they came up to our front porch Elder Tipoki spotted this massive snail crossing the sidewalk. So we got all the kids and as we were gathering around he spotted another one in the plants. We have crazy plants that are pretty out of control but that we can't do anything with, so I guess it is fitting that they are home to some pretty monsterous snails!
I was trying to get the kids to put their feet by the snail so that I could show that the snail was as big as their feet, but they were all a little too frightened!



Snail Friends!
What will we find next in this crazy place!

I would rather have the big snails then the flying cockroaches that I experienced while living in HI.
