That is cute:) Funny now that Cassie is 9 and not as fast now - she can
still jump at a moving stick or rope she thinks is a snake<G>
Should have seen me jump down at the barn. I am not as fast now either and
I can still jump, run and grab my kid at the same time I see a snake<LOL>
It was a baby 'bull' snake:) I picked him up and put him where the darn
ground squirrels are so he could eat some of those!
