Our backyard snake friend

Now that the weather is starting to get a little warmer we have been able to go outside in the backyard and enjoy the freedom that is a fenced in backyard.  :)  Its nice that I am able to send them out in the backyard and I can see them from the kitchen window.  Tristan and Lucy are really good back there but Norah can get a little wiley and try to go play in the woods that are on one side.  While they were outside they did find a little garter snake and at first they were not pleased with it. But... I told them that if they touched it I would give them a cookie haha.  There isn't any reason they should be afraid of it and I was trying to make sure I didn't project my weird phobias on them.  The second time they saw the snake though they weren't afraid at all and just went and picked it up!  Norah grabbed it and it was fine until it started to move.  Then, it was classic Norah and she screamed and just dropped it and ran off... It was really the funniest thing I had seen in awhile.









I'm glad that they are enjoying their time outside and like being out there.  :)
