Playground surprise

I was a good momma and took Naomi to the playground on Friday (she doesn’t start school until Monday). After an hour, she found something cool—

This not-so-little guy was just a couple  yards away from the merry go round. I figured I’d better stand guard and make sure no little kids got close. After a while, he slithered over to another tree.

And climbed up a few feet. 

After a long wait, he went back down, went under a picnic table, and finally climbed a third tree and disappeared into a hole in the trunk about 12 feet above the ground. 

By this time I was starving and glad I could abandon “snake guarding” duty. Naomi loved playing at the playground for such a long time!
