Well as you can see for yourself...we had a bit of excitement in the Tolley house today. I had Austin take Hannity out for a bathroom trip and the next thing I know a flash of white when flying past the window. In burst Austin all out of breath saying, "There's a snake!" So out went Dad, Austin and a shaking Hannity to find the snake. Troll found it in our wood pile and grabbed hold of it's tail to pull it out. It got away from him and went up into the flower beds where he finally managed to yank it out. All the kids wanted to touch it and I even had it wrapped around my arm! Ethan wasn't too sure he was impressed and stayed at a distance. After we had our fill of snake handling Daddy and all the kids hiked down to the woods to let it go. As you can see it was longer than Austin is tall!! Exciting.
The bottom picture is our idea of a Bible quiz! I had the kids line up like that on the floor since we don't have the fancy seats with buzzers on them! The first one up in the air was the one who got to answer the question. I don't think Bia had the slightest clue what was happening. And if you look really closely...you can see Hannity's head back by the chair behind the kids! No, we don't get bored around here.

Austin's shirt pretty much says it all. :-0
btw... what kind of snake is that?
Black snake. Pretty cool one. He had a hunk out of him so evidently someone wasn't as sympathetic to the handling of snakes as we are!!
looks like the King that was chasing Mary Rine down the halls of learning a few years back...thanks you for turning him back home. they are known to deter and consume the Copperheads and Rattlers that would be common near your place were in not for him.
one about that size has lived around the barn for several years. Frank Heidler probably scared him with the bulldozer.
thanks you again
