Outdoor adventure

There was a little nature trail outside our beach cottage in the Outer Banks.

And the boys were happy to explore.
The first time, they returned filled with great stories of the flora and the fauna they encountered.
Jason picked up a frog on his visit outside and apparently enjoyed the experience. Fortunately, he left it in the wild to continue its life.



Trip number two was a little different.
The nature part was great, so was the flora, but this mission included the introduction of an unexpected and unwanted visitor--a snake. As described by Jason, "He just looked really mean with eyes the color of my eyes." Yikes. It went on its way and didn't bother our group, but it certainly left a lasting impression.



Our family of brave explorers came back shortly thereafter.

Michael announced, "I will never go on another nature trail again."

You left out the part where Grandma ran like a race horse away from the snake!!! It made an impression on me, too.
