I am absolutely terrified/fascinated by snakes. On Saturday morning we took a little family hike near our home and Mike spotted the above gem slightly off the trail. There was a nice little bulge in his belly so he had probably just eaten and Mike also spotted the rattle at the end of the tail so yup folks it was a real live rattlesnake. Mike was surprised that I didn't make us turn around after seeing it. 
Look at the waterfall that awaited us at the end. All you can see of Julia is her little hat poking up behind Blake. 
Blake was so excited about the hike he couldn't even stand still to take a picture in front of the beautiful wildflowers. We were pretty impressed that he ran in front of us about half the way.
I was in wildflower heaven the whole time!!!!!Once again, Happy Spring!! Now if it would just cool down. It has been very unseasonably HOT around here the past few days.

Beautiful. Well, not the snake so much, but the flowers, the waterfall and your family.
Have you been up to see the California Poppy Preserve? It's in Antelope Valley, I think. It's gorgeous in the spring. The trail loops around the preserve and is a lovely little walk/hike (more like walk).
It's funny you went the day we planned too. Morning that day was the only time to go, with the heat like it was! We opted for an afternoon swim instead, but are still game for a hike soon. For sure, we'll watch for Snakes! Love the yellow- is that mustard seed? Glad your cute fam had a fun adventure.
