I hate to admit it, but I almost started crying during that last paragraph. Your mom is an inspiration to me and a huge part of my life and upbringing. I don't know what I would have ever done without the Topham family as my second family. Can’t tell you how amazing this is. I hate to admit it, but I almost started crying during that last paragraph.

Reptiles, mammals, birds, and insects of every shape, size, and venomocity.  (yeah, it’s a real word.)  (okay, it’s not, but it should be.) Of course our wild guests typically lived in large glass houses topped with plenty of heavy rocks.  And they usually enjoyed only short stays in our wild animal hotel.  My Mom was grateful.

This interview made me teary. There were "only" five of us growing up but my parents did a great job getting outside. I know that it was very challenging for my mother as she was never really exposed to that as a child. Last week we took the kids to the beach while in S. California. My poor 3 year old started freaking out about the sand fleas and it took me 20 minutes to climb out of the beach chair. It's about this moment that I realized that I've failed as an Outside Dad.

Now and then, having two kids made me quail in the face of the great outdoors, but six? Your mother is a saint! And she looked so cool and put together, too. What a great interview.
