If You're Scared of Snakes, Don't Look at This


There was a dead snake in the road in front of our neighbor's house. I hadn't noticed it when I drove in, but Clint walked in the door all excited (of course!) He wanted Jack to go with him to see the snake, and since I'm just as much of a nature dork as he is, we loaded Sydney up in the stroller and we all four went to see the dead snake. Here's what we found:

4'2" Rattlesnake. About 6" circumference. Oh. My. Word.





Jack was quite excited about our great find.




Yes, the rattles are now a part of his nature collection. And the skin will be also once it finishes drying off.



We told Jack to make a scary face. Here's what he came up with. If you click on the picture, it will get bigger and you can see his crossed eyes. Ha!
