Friday was the first day of summer for us. We started the day with some school work and then we headed to the Heard. I was curious about how the weather had effected the place. In ward council we had discussed how there were a lot of copperheads out. So, the boys know to stay on the trails, but I might have made them be extra careful of things. Blake then started to freak out about everything and then eventually let Dylan lead the way.
The water levels were much higher then normal, but they had gone down since a week previous.
The turtles were still there though.
And the plants had gone crazy. They grew so much with all this rain.
The butterflies are back and they were so pretty.
We ate lunch and then played at the treehouses.
About 1.5 miles into our 2.5 mile hike, Dylan was in the lead and almost stepped on a copperhead. Dylan froze and he ran over to me. The snake wouldn't move. I put Dylan in the jogger, Blake on the other side of the trail where the snake wasn't and ran as fast as we could. I did not get a picture of the snake on the trail, but we got a picture of Dylan with a copperhead when we went inside the museum...but this one was behind glass.
We got nice and hot so when we got home, we went swimming.
