Rattlesnake

Here's a pic of what Joel found while cleaning out our garage--a 13 inch rattlesnake! It was hiding in the far corner right next to the garage door. Joel pulled it out of the corner with a broom and the snake struck at the broom a few times. Supposedly the babies are the most dangerous because they often release all of their venom into you. We had half the neighborhood watching while Joel and another neighbor made this snake go "night-night." We are now walking VERY carefully outside in case this guy has any siblings or a mama nearby!


And here's a pic of the girls outside on our bench. We may now start referring to Larkin's rain boots as snake boots!!
