Snakes!

Warning really did happen and I almost got bit! Today I went fishing at the creek with my brother
to friends of mine my Dad and my older sister Megan. When we got to we all started to spread out to fish, my friend Travis and I went almost a half a mile farther down the creek then any body else and were just about start walking into some long grass when we almost stepped on a coiled water moccasin! That was the second snake I had seen that but the first one had been a harm less foot long Tiger snake that had just slipped into the water when we got near, far cry from a three and a half foot long water moccasin that just stared at us and didn't move right! At first we thought it was just staring at us then we thought it was dead so Travis poked it with a fishing pole to make sure and that's where we started to get scared that snake started to turn its self around until it's head was only a foot or so away from our feet and then it started to hiss, We thought it was going to attack us but Travis poked it again with the fishing pole and started moving slowly into the water but it was not going under the water it just stared at to go just a little bit under the water then I threw a chunk of wood in to the water into deeper water and went under a rock and we did not see any more.
