Snakes Alive!

What was a casual afternoon in the pool turned into a full on wild discovery adventure. Robert spotted a snake in our pool as we were about to get in so naturally, Harrison and I were on the case! First, we captured the snake with a net. Next, I whipped out my "National Audubon's Society Field Guide to North American Reptiles and Amphibians" book so we could determine whether or not our new friend was poisonous. After discovering that the miniature snake in our pool was a non venomous Garter snake, Harrison and I got photos and set him free. It was an exciting experience for Harrison to catch and release his first snake and I have say, fun for me too. After all the commotion we did some practice surfing in the pool. Brooks stayed adorable and hung out by the pool, as usual. Great afternoon!
