Wildlife

This is my first time ever posting videos to our blog!

Here's the huge snake that was in our backyard a few weeks ago. If you look closely, it has a big bulge in the middle of its body, so I guess it had just eaten. Gross. I was secretly hoping it ate a toy and that it would mean the end for Mr. Snakey. Guess we'll never know. My neighbor said it was a Garter snake and not poisonous, but I would still prefer it to not be in our backyard and am now slightly paranoid whenever we go outside.

For our next big wildlife adventure, we took the boys fishing for the first time yesterday. There were zero fish, but a turtle saved the day! Luke caught it several times using his net.

Another family stopped by to check out the action and helped us play with the turtle on the dock for a little bit. After this interaction, we didn't see the turtle anymore. I think he got smart and swam far, far away. Thank you for the entertainment, Mr. Turtle!
