Snakes and Football

This week I spent most of my time outside looking for spiders for our spider lab at school, but on Friday we found more than just spiders.  Luckily I came across a 5' long black snake first and then was able to show it to the kids without them completely freaking out.  They had a blast watching it climb a tree.

Hailey came over for the weekend and got to spend some time with Jeff and with my parents.  We went to our usual spot Friday night after some Chic-fil-a to check out the albino deer.  Hailey was pumped to get to look at them through the binoculars.

Baby turtle that Jeff found while getting stuff ready for hunting.

She lucked out with a new pair of sneakers and some toys for her dolls from Grandma and PaPa.  Today they went on a walk down to the lake for some exercise and to enjoy the fresh air.  The cooler weather was much needed after a hot and humid week.  It figures that it would cool down after I finished my outdoor lessons.  We grilled up some chicken quarters, made deviled eggs, potato salad and apple pie after we made our weekly trip to the grocery store.

Saturday night was reserved for the Tech v. Ohio State game and some beer for Jeff.  I opted for two pieces of apple pie instead of drinking. ;)  Hailey watched Diary of a Wimpy Kid while we watched the game.  It was a really good game, just stinks that it was on so late because I kept falling asleep.  Amazingly enough, VT beat Ohio State which was awesome and put someone in a very good mood. However, it made for a very early alarm this morning for Jeff to head to work.
