Snake Bite!

This weekend Grant and Brent attend our ward fathers and sons outing out on the Mogillion Rim. The campsite was very difficult to find and it was dark by the time they arrived. Grant decided not to set up his tent and ran off with the other boys to have fun.

He had a great time hanging out with the other boys his age but as it got later into the evening it kept getting colder and colder. Eventually, Grant asked Brent for the keys to the car. Brent didn't know what he needed out of the car when he handed him the keys. As it got later into the evening and everyone else had gone to bed. Brent was worried about where Grant had gone and who he was hanging out with so late at night. He looked all over camp and asked one of the other late night campers if he had seen him. Eventually, Brent went to the car and found Grant sound asleep, in fetal position. He was shivering. Brent wrapped him up in his sleeping bag and let him sleep in the car for the night.

The next morning the smell of breakfast energized Grant out of his sleep. The ward breakfasts are always soooo good. Once food had been consumed, Grant and his friends were off exploring. While they were out, they found a bull snake. It wasn't huge and Dallin decided to pick it up. Although Grant is terrified of spiders, he had no problem taking the snake from Dallin and holding it. This is when the snake bit Grant on the thumb. According to Grant, he didn't freak out; however, the snake wouldn't let go of his thumb. I think I would have freaked out!!! In the end, the snake released Grant's thumb and left him with some teeth marks. The boys took the snake back to camp to tell their story.

Here is their "vicious" snake. Thank goodness it wasn't poisonous!
