What... there are snakes in here??

Lo and behold, my daughter actually finished all her homework and piano practicing without complaint and in a timely manner. That meant we could head to the park 5 minutes from our house before it got cold and dark. The kids happily played with some friends from MOMS Club that just happened to be there for over an hour. Once the sun started setting, the temperature really dropped so we packed up to head home. We were just pulling out of the parking lot when Jaina remembered something I had said earlier.

"Mom, you never let us go over to that field over there. You always say we can 'next time', so when is it 'next time'?"



(SIGH)


I said, "Okay, whatever. Its freezing, though. We'll just run quickly down and back and then be done."




The kids happily agreed, so I pulled my car over to the side and turned on my hazard lights, hoping that no one leaving or coming into the park would hit my car.








(I know this one is blurry since my camera focused on the grass instead of Jayce, but I just LOVE his expression )



I warned them that the grass could be itchy...







I reminded them about how cold it was outside...




I don't think they cared one bit.




Until I said....




"I hope you guys don't step on a snake."



"WHAT?? There are snakes in here????"



And then they were done :)
