snakes, Snakes, SNAKES!

When he goes outside all he wants is to be let back in and when he is in all he wants to do is be let out. Am I talking about a pet or my son?

After church today Lehr took Eli on a hike at Sope Creek. The weather was so nice (70!) and Eli hadn't been in the hike-pack in a while, so he took advantage of the boys' afternoon. At one point Lehr let Eli out to explore the trail on his own, as he loves to do. However due to the amount of leaves and branches covering the outskirts of the trail, the terrain was a bit difficult for Eli to maneuver, so he opted to crawl a bit on top of the pine needles. Wouldn't you know a snake (probably harmless) was right underneath Eli and the leaves.... Lehr said he jumped about 10-feet trying to pick up Eli before the snake discovered him.
