Memorial Day ‘O Snakes

Today, there were 4, yes FOUR! black snakes in the Messick’s yard. We were lucky enough to see only two of them and miss the Grandaddy of black snakes that slithered into Julie’s garage.

CAUTION: Ken- you might want to stop reading.

Initially, Cameron wasn't sure this snake was really dead.

But his curiousity quickly got to him.
And to the big kids as well... ...except for Leo. She viewed the dead creature from the safety of her porch.

Mr. Chad had THE best Memorial Day wrangling 3 live snakes!

But this little bugger didn’t want to get in the bucket & it took a number of tries to finally capture him.

Round 2. Or was it 3?

Chad released him into the woods behind the houses. Hopefully we won’t see him or his cousins again! TA WA!!!
