Snakes,birds, and grasshoppers, oh my!

Today we went on a nature walk!My mom, sister and I walked down a side road and looked at all the different animals. There were little butterflys with about 1 centimeter wide that were flying around. Tons of grasshoppers were leaping around too.Well I know you are waiting for the snake story. Here it is. I was walking in the side of the trail trying not to get red mud on my shoes. I had just stepped on a piece of "electrical wire" when suddenly the electrical wire moved and made a sound. I turned around to see what had happened. It was a snake!! I said shakily " Uh, mom, I think I just stepped on a snake." She turned and looked at the beady eyed snake, flicking its tongue back and forth. I wasn't scared, just happy that I saw a snake. Mom wouldn't let me keep it or touch it because she was afraid it might be poisonous. When we got home we found that it was a garter snake. Those are not poisonous luckily. Our neighbor, Mr.Bob, then gave us a bird feeder. So far the only birds that have come our bird feeder is the same two finches. Oh well.
This morning I saw the biggest grasshopper ever! It was 3 inches long and could fly!
That is about all the Nature News I have got!
