Memorial Day and Snake

Monday we went up to Kolob with Erics family. The weather was great. Did some fishing, took the canoes out and Jack cooked his very first hot dog all by himself.We also went to my grandpa verns grave. It was interesting to try and explain to Jack what was going on.




So I dont know what it is about our house attracting wierd animals. I spotted this guy right by our house two days ago while I was out playing with the boys. Eric had just left to go running. My first thought was that it was fake,then it started to slowly head toward our garage door... which was wide open. I quickly ran and shut it and called our trusty neighbor the Stewarts over. I didnt want to touch it!! Jay came over with a shovel and tried to keep it close while we were waiting for his friend(who loves reptiles)to come get it. Eric finally came back and they tried to get it in a bucket because he was getting away. It was just a king snake but seriously, who wants this thing roaming around their yard where their children play!!??
