I HATE snakes!! Especially anything that can bite you and kill you!! I've taught my kids to treat EVERY snake as an enemy combatant. We live in an area surrounded by forest. Several of our neighbors had close calls last summer and early fall. These ranged from snakes coiled in the backyards to sitting on freezers in garages. UHG! On each occassion the snakes were deadly, so that did little to lower my fear levels of this place that i have grumbled about since day one.....today Jorden came home to a 4 foot snake by our front door. He grabbed one of his hockey sticks and went for the head. First shot, perfect shot and snake died. Yay Jorden!! He cut off its head so it would stop wiggeling all over the place. It turned out to not be poisonous, but we beleive in killing all intruders first and ask questions later! Ty and Ryan had fun holding it and than proceeded to take it around the neighborhood and show all of thier friends! Needless to say, all the kids now know to be on the look out that snakes are now out and about!!! Later they threw the carcass out into the forest. I'm now gonna go out and buy that Snake Away stuff and make sure our perimiter is covered with it!!!
