snake

Grandma Helen and Kalista killed a rattle snake on there adventures at the ranch!

I can remember being over there as a kid and there being snakes in grandma's garage.  I was always really afraid of them.  There is noting quite like the sound of a rattle snake.  If you ever hear it your body instinctively knows to get away and you never forget the sound.

It was a little snake that they killed and mom let Kalista have the rattle.

She has been "scaring " us all night.  She will pop out of no ware and show you the rattle... if you don't scream she will.  Then she laughs and laughs. 

I don't know if she understands that it was poison or why it was scary.  She does understand that it was really exciting and worth telling the story over and over.
