Pesty Snakes

We enjoyed the beautiful weather this evening by going on a walk along a nice trail. Seth, Maddy and Kiera ran ahead like the little energizer bunnies they typically are. Since the trail is often frequented by bikers, Greg yelled out to them, "Watch out for bikers!" We were pretty surprised when they came to a virtual halt and started slowly walking along... they didn't usually listen quite that well! We caught up to them and they looked at his with alarm: "Walk slowly ... and don't talk. The vipers might hear you." Ahh... that explained it - they thought Greg had told them to watch out for vipers, not bikers :) So, the next time I need them to slow down, I shall warn them of vipers in the area!
