First of all, this hike was not forced on them. This was one of the activities that Jordan had on her list.
It was hot but we had on our bathing suits to cool off in the creek and swimming hole.
Right when we got there we realized the creek bed was completely dried up. Oh no, Jordan did not like that. Well, lets just hike to the swimming hole and see.
Tom and I saw the first snake but the kids did not so lets keep going.
We get to the swimming hole and as you can see the water was stagnant. Not for swimming! Usually, there is fresh cool water running over rocks that you can slide in on. Not Today! Jordan was really ready to get out of there. We told them that we would go to the pool. Katie and Jordan walked ahead but not for long when we heard Jordan yelling, they saw a snake and she was mad at me! So I have the girls running in one direction and the boys running to see the snake. He was pretty big and very fast. Seeing the snake made the hike for the boys and Jordan says she is never going again. They all walked out of the woods saying, "Red on black, friend of Jack, black on yellow,kill the fellow. Want to guess what kind of snake the girls saw?

I am guessing it was a kill a fellow snake? We have had those in our driveway. I'm sorry the hike and swim didn't work out as you'd planned.
I'm so sad the watering hole was shallow. It's usually such a fun place to hike too. Kind of a little reward after all the work of getting there. Snakes seem to be out and about right now. We just found one on the street this morning.
