The Snake

This is a King snake and the story of how we found it.

So yesterday my mom was mowing and she kept on telling us to get our stuff out of the yard.

I had already been in and out three or four times. I was building with Legos in the playroom when I heard mama screaming to Aubrey something.  I couldn't understand her and I thought that is was about picking her stuff up so I kept on building. Then Andrew screams, "CARTER! IT'S A SNAKE!".  I run downstairs and out the door and everyone is gathered around a tree. I look over there and I see a King snake (of course we didn't know that until later). 

 Aubrey runs off screaming, "I"M GONNA CALL MASUE"!

Aubrey comes back with a Lego box so we can catch it. Mama hands me the camera so I took some pictures while Andrew got a shovel and was trying to force it into the box that Aubrey was holding.  

We ended up catching it in the box.

Then everything went back to normal, I went to finish my space shuttle (hopefully I'll post it on here), mama went back to mowing, Hope and Benjamin jumped on the trampoline, Andrew went with me and I think Aubrey had school to finish. 

It was a pretty exiting Wednesday because we caught the snake (that eventually died) and on our way to church we were riding down the road when the car in front of us hits a deer and the deer goes flying over the rails by the road. That's right, we saw a deer fly!

This was the first snake sighting at our new house so it was exciting.
