This is not Noah's Ark

So if you keep us with our blog, you know we have had our fair share of critters coming into our house... a pigeon, a frog, several different buggies... but this one tops the cake! Cade was walking to his bedroom, and ran back into the living room saying, "Nake Nake..." and pointing to the bathroom. I looked at Michael and said, "He is saying snake." So off went daddy to investigate, and sure enough this is what we found.Behind our back fence is a baseball field that is not being used right now(off season) and a nature park/walking trail. So we have field and brush all around us... I think it just rained enough and they started going to higher ground... aka. My house. I just wish they would understand, this is not Noah's ark, and they are really not welcome inside:).
This is our friend, Shannon. We called them first thing to say, "come identify this thing for us!" She is so brave, I was really freaked out by this point!
The boys, especially Cade is fascinated with animals. We finally had to move it up to a higher location because he wouldn't leave it alone and the snake was getting panicked.

  3. That snake looks HUGE in the first picture, I thought it was on the floor of a shower not in a pitcher. I was horrified until I continued down the post :) Good ole' Shannon - I would have called her too.

  4. hehe - I really though the snake was on the floor of the bath tub too and the first picture looked like an anaconda or something but this little snake would still be scary.

  5. I have to say I agree with the other posts. The first picture of the snake looks huge! I was reading it at work and said, "OH MY GOODNESS." Then I was relieved when I saw the second picture. Brennan is adorable! Hope all is well and not too bad with storms. Love you guys!
