We went camping out at Yuba again this weekend. We were all sitting around a tree Friday evening when one of the kids yelled "snake"! We all got up anxious to see what kind of snake it was...and we're quite surprised to see that it was a pretty big rattlesnake..right in the tree we were all sitting around!! We made the little kids get in the safety of one of the trailers while the big boys and men took care of the snake. Luckily we had a pellet gun in the trailer and the big boys put a few pellets in the poor snake. They then proceeded to cut its head off, bury it, and then play with the body of the snake which curled and moved a round for quite a while after it had been killed. Gavin then cut off its rattles as a souvenir.....boys are gross.
The rest of the weekend was quite and without snake incident...Although we kept our eyes wide open looking for them...even in our sleep.
