Critters

Working in the yard tonight, Paige spotted a young rabbit and with Tony's help, caught it. This is quite the event at our house. They all came running, squealing in excitement to ooh and aah over this cute little guy. Grace was not afraid (you never know how she'll react lately). She pet it gently and gave it a few kisses and picked up some leaves and held it out for him.



Of course, he didn't eat it, so she tried to coax him into it.
"Come on, open up, like this..."



The kids went crazy when he got away and they ran franticly around chasing the poor thing.



Jacob came running into the house yesterday morning yelling "Joe caught a snake!"
I never saw the snake but I'm told it was this big...



And this wide...



It must have been pretty creepy because they were scared to put their feet on the ground.
