SNAKES

WE WAS ON A CANOE TRIP ON THE PEACE RIVER PEGGY AND I TERI AND CAT AND SEVERAL FRIENDS

PEGGY WAS IN THE CANOE WITH TERI AND THEY WERE FIGHTING. SO SHE HAD ME TAKE TERI WITH ME

TERI AND I DID GOOD IN THE CANOE TOGETHER AND MADE OUR WAY DOWN THE RIVER PULLING OVER NEAR A BUNCH OF TREES TO REST A MINUTE I LOOKED DOWN OUR CANOE WAS STUCK ON A BED OF WATER MOCCISANS

HUNDRED AND HUNDREDS OF SNAKES

I KNEW IF TERI GOT SCARED WE WAS IN TROUBLE SHE WAS ONLY ABOUT 8-10 YEARS OLD

I TOLD HER NO PROBLEM AND PUT MY PADDLE ON THE SNAKES AND PUSHED BACKWARDS. I HAD TO DO THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I FELT THE CANOE START TO MOVE. SLOWLY I BACKED THE CANOE BACK INTO OPEN WATER KNOWING JUST ONE OF THEM SNAKES COULD KILL BOTH TERI AND I MUCH LESS IF WE TIPED THE CANOE

WE GOT INTO OPEN WATER AND AWAY FROM THE SNAKES IT WAS ALL I COULD TO NOT TO LET HER KNOW HOW SCARED I WAS AND I KNEW I WAS MORE SCARED FOR HER THAN ME
