Our buddy Hunter came into this world on March 20th, 2007 and it hasn’t been the same place ever since. He has added so much to our world in the last ten plus years that I can’t imagine life without him. He loves the outdoors and has had a passion for snakes and lizards since he could walk.
Check out all of the amazing events that he as been a part of over the years.

Having been married into the Griffin family for over 10 years now, I have learned that the holidays are a very important time for the entire family. Whether it is finding the perfect gift, scouring the tents for 3 hours to find the perfect Christmas tree, or lugging the 328 pounds of decorations down from storage, the Griffins mean business when… Read more »
Another Thanksgiving is upon the Hayes household, and like our previous Thanksgivings, we decided to start with our annual tradition of breakfast at Dunkin’ Donuts.

As we often like to do in the “Fall”, we like to head out early on the weekend and enjoy the nice weather outside.
