we were blessed to hike around Pennypack Preserve with Uncle Travis. It was so much fun to walk along the railroad tracks and learn about all the adventures our daddy and his brother had as kids. Reece and Raine collected 5 different types of balls and a bunch of other junk they wanted to bring home. Daddy stopped and fished along our hike and caught three rainbow trout and two small mouth bass. As daddy fished Reece and Travis searched for treasures and found a snake. Travis decided it would be fun to play with it. When the garter snake was picked up, it released a very strong, bad odor which went all over his was hands and shirt. Luckily, he was wearing gloves and found some sort of tee tree oil hair product laying near the creek to clean off some of the stench. It was quite a sight to see. Raine and I laughed while watching Uncle Travy dance around like a crazy man with the snake coiled around his wrist. Seconds later, Raine had to use the bathroom so I taught her how to pee in the woods, she did pretty good. It was getting late so we ventured down the tracks to a super old bridge, crossed the creek and started to head back to the truck. We saw our favorite house which we would love to buy and even spoke with a neighbor about the woman selling it. Please Lord provide us with a way to buy this home, it is spectacular!
It was almost 1:00 and the Williams family was meeting us at Village Pretzel in Hatboro so we had to motor through the rest of the hike. We were cold and hungry anyway and ready for some delicious Philly style pretzels and hotdogs. First we made a pit stop at home so Uncle Travis could change his stinky shirt. He decided it would be fun to play with a snake. When the garter snake was picked up, it released a very strong, bad odor. which went all over his was hands and shirt. Luckily he was wearing gloves and found some sort of tee tree oil hair product laying near the creek to clean off some of the stench. It was quite a site to see as Raine and I watch Uncle Travy dance around like a crazy man with the snake coiled around his wrist.
We caught up with the Williams clan at the Village Pretzel and enjoyed the best soft pretzels around and then headed to safe street at a local park. The kiddos played hide and go seek for almost an hour, it was so nice to be out running around like kids should do. It was also so fun the the aunts and uncles ran and hid as well. The cousins had a blast and didn't want to leave but out was getting too dark and cold. We returned home for Christmas dinner leftovers. It was like Christmas dinner all over again. We are so blessed to be spending the holidays with our Pennsylvania family. Thank you Lord for answering my prayers!
