The Snake!

On July 18th, Emily was outside walking around and she came upon a snake hidden in a leaf pile. She knew that is was a copperhead (for you city-kids, that is a poisionous snake) and instantly went for help. Although "help" turned out to be Gabe running through the house with his bb gun (yeah right) which in turn freaked the rest of us out. Dad eventually smashed the snake's head, paralyzing it. I don't think it was all the way dead, because it was still breathing and opening its mouth. We all took turns touching it (yes including me), and then Dad disposed of it. Enjoy! ;)
