Scary Stuff!!!

When we got back from Great Wolf Lodge we threw the lifejackets in a corner of the garage and decided we would organize the garage later that week. Wednesday rolled around and we decided to tackle it. It wasn't too bad, we just had some shelves that we bought that we wanted to put stuff on to get it off the ground. Keeper was doing the shelves and Bryn was happy in the jumper in the doorway so I decided to tackle the swim pile. I grabbed some shoes and put them away and then I picked up the top floatie on the stack. I noticed something dark under it and I leaned in to figure out what it was. All of a sudden it clicked...it was a snake!!! I jumped back and ran over by Keeper. I was shaking and Keeper says that my voice was getting louder and higher as I went. He told me to get the baby and take her inside. Then he went over and asked our neighbor to help him capture the thing. They got it in a plastic tub and later we gave it to someone who said they wanted to eat it.

All is safe now thank goodness but there is nothing like a good scare to put things back into perspective.





Camy and Carson loved looking at it but when it starting freaking out and rattling and striking the box they got scared. I did too.
