Snake Hunting at the Wilds

One of the things the kids wanted to do before school starts was to go to the Wilds and snake hunt.  Adam and I used to do that when we first got married.  The only day we had available was not the best weather it was cool and cloudy, cool and sunny would have been better but we dressed in our old clothes and headed out to the Wilds where Adam still had some pieces of tin all around from the grant he got many years ago.

Ayla saying how amazing the flowers were...

Checking a tin but no snakes...

I did not get out of the truck and hike to the very first tin that they lifted and they found this lovely rat snake, that was the only snake we found, Adam put it down for Addison to catch on his own since we didn't find anymore.  He could probably do a better job if he had some smaller gloves, he wore Adam's.

Then we had to move the skid steer from beside rhino down to hoof stock so daddy could use it later this week, which both kids said was an amazing ride....

Next we had to fill the fish feeder's so they could make more money, on the weekends they have to fill them up many times.. I tried to get a picture to show how large the catfish are..

more catfish.. of course we had to feed them..
