On the way back to the car the kids had run up ahead on the trail. All of a sudden Foster stopped dead and started shrieking like a girl! Brandi thought that something had come out of the bushes and was attacking him. She had Ressa stop and come back to her. Foster continued to scream and after a few seconds turned and blazed trail back to her... screaming all the way. She finally got out of him what was wrong and glanced up. There was a 1 1/2-2 foot rattlesnake crawling off the trail and into the bush. Apparently he is terrified of snakes (much like his mother)! He was screaming and Ressa was bawling when some hikers came by. Foster made a point to tell them there was a snake. Brandi had to stand between the bush and them to get by where the snake had disappeared. They then broke into a run and didn't stop until at the car. Foster fell in his scramble and got what we call the "snake wound". They, of course, sent me all the following pictures on the way home.
