We went to Heise this weekend for a reunion. Yep, another camping trip (It's good I love to camp) Our camp spot was nice cuz it had a football field sized lawn that no one was camping in so the kids didn't even get dirty. That's a huge change from the other camping we have done this year. We camped right under this huge rock climbing wall. The kids didn't get too interested until the second day. Kason liked to climb up to the "cubby." Which you can see in the third pic.
It was a lot of swimming and relaxing. One thing that was a little scary though was when I was getting water for the kiddie pool I walked right up on a rattle snake! It was probably 4 feet long and it was about a foot away from me shaking its rattle! It could have bit me if it wanted. I jumped back and screamed "there's a rattlesnake over there!" I wasn't sure everyone believed me but my dad ran and got a shovel. My brother in law Shane came over and saw that it was a rattler and got the shovel and killed it. It was freaky. It was only about ten feet away from our whole camp. What if one of the kids had come across it and not an adult. I am grateful for that. After the adrenaline quit we walked across the road where Shane had thrown the dead snake to cut off the rattler. According to the rattler it was 10 years old. Scary. But we all came home safe and sound.
