Smelly Hand...

So today we were working/playing outside...Natalie and i in one part of the yard, bud in another, when i heard bud scrambling, looking for something...i asked him what you looking for, he goes hang on a sec...so he brings over a bucket from Natalie's sandbox over and I'm thinking what are you doing...then i look in it, and omg...there was 4 baby garter snakes!!!! I, of course, had to run and get the camera...lol...ill post the few pics i snapped, i could only snap a few due to having a REALLY bad smelly hand! Why you ask?! Well, Natalie was a little reluctant to hold the snakes, even tho daddy was doing it...so i grabbed one to show her it was fine, and then she was ok...wouldn't hold it but touched it afterwards. Well as i was holding it, bud said beware...snakes are stinky, i had no idea! In our younger years we had snakes as pets, i remember them having a smell...but NO WHERE NEAR like these! As most of you know that i have a camera that needs 2 hands to operate it...I had given bud the snake i was holding and went to take some more pictures...well when i put the camera up to my face, the hand i was holding the snake with was of course right next to my nose.....O M G.....i almost threw up from the smell of it! GROSS! I'm glad Natalie wouldn't hold it, cause i woulda said screw the pics we are going to wash our hands! Which we did a minute or two later after we let the snakes go at the back of the yard!!! In fact we washed them 3 times with 3 different antibacterial soaps!!! That prolly will not surprise most of you! 

This little snake moved so fast, as soon as id focus he'd move again!
The last pic taken, cause i had a smelly hand!
That was our exciting bit for the day...hope this finds you well =)
