Our uninvited house guest

I asked Tate to get his shoes out of the shoe basket downstairs so we could leave for the grocery store. He quickly came running back to tell me that there was a spider by the basket. Expecting to see a small problem, I was very surprised to see this gigantic creature. Now, those of you who live in the country may not be impressed by a spider this size, but us "city folk" here in Rocklin are not accustomed to this type of thing. I just hope he didn't bring any of his other spider friends with him....one was enough.
