Snake in the Grass


While filling the kids pool, I had to run back inside to get something. I carried Reed back to the house, and as I rounded the tree, I thought I stepped on the hose....but it moved. I looked down to see a snake trying to get away...and wrapping itself around my other foot. I did what came naturally....I screamed!!! Thank god I also had the presence of mind to keep holding onto the baby. The neighbors dogs tried to jump the fence to come save me...Sawyer ran out of the house, as I was running back in. It was a heart pounding experience.



Sawyer went to find the snake, take pictures, and mess with it. I have no idea whose daughter she is, but she couldn't possibly be related to me!
Once the pool was filled...the babies still wanted to go play in it...I, of course, was out there in my boots!!!

I'm the meanest friend ever cause I still think the snake story is funny...but its probably all in the way you tell the story!! I know I would be freaked too if I had stepped on it! You forgot to mention how you saw it again a few days later while pulling weeds!!
