Today we spent some more time biking and hiking. Mom had to stay home with Joy. Gus and Sam found a snake sunning itself on the trail. Gus immediately tapped it, the snake slithered away about 2 feet and starred back, incredulous at the audacity of that 5 year old boy. Dad had to advise Gus that it is not best practice to touch all snakes we see. Gus immediately retorted that the snake he just touched did not have a rattle!
