The girls and I made a quick trip to visit my Mom, sister and nieces on Monday (before it started to snow). CJ always wants to go look for snakes with her cousins... yes there are MANY garter snakes where they live. We did a lot of high steppin' (that'd be me) through the grass in the field where they usually are and CJ was a little disappointed not to find any. We continued on our walk and Auntie let out a scream then ran after a snake. Oldest cousin picked it up, handed it to CJ and she played with it all the way back to Auntie's. Imagine city kid CJ letting it squiggle through her (gloved) fingers.
I must really love my children because I let them
bring it home!
I was terrified that it would get loose in the car and we'd crash, but we made it.
I didn't sleep very well all night. At one point I heard hissing but refused to get out of bed just in case. I later realized it was our cat hissing at neighbour cat outside. Whew.
Snake was still in it's cage. After 24 hours in our care it was then relocated to school where all the city kids can enjoy observing it before it is released far far away from my house!
Next the girls want a salamander!
