Yes, you read that right! I did see my first rattle snake tonight, fortunately I was inside the truck..but not so fortunately it was about two blocks from our land. ALL of the kids and I had been out and about all day, we saw the movie "Aliens in the Attic" cute cute. Did some shopping and ate at IHOP. We got home about 8:45 and the teens wanted to go to the pool so I brought them up, then Madi Jase and I wanted to get the mail so we drove up and got the mail and on our way back we saw a snake on the road so I stopped, turned on the brights and watched it for a second..it was about 5 feet long, tan in color with about the last 2 1/2 inches striped..the kids wanted me to pull up and let them open their window so they could see it better! I said no and floored it to try to run it over..then I felt guilty! So i backed up and it was gone..not sure if I got it but now I am FREAKED OUT! They say they go the other way if they hear you, but this one didn't until I tried to squish him! I wasn't even sure that it was a rattle snake until I got home and told the neighbor and he said YEP, and then I looked it up online and YEP! OMG! I've talked to people that have been here for 8 years and they have never seen one, I'm here a month and a half and I gotta see one! uugghh! Maybe that Minnesota winter isn't so bad....
