I was poolside watching the kids swim. "The kids aren't ready to come in yet. Can I see them later?"
"Sure. Whenever."
Whenever came a couple of hours later. Mr. Wicke wasn't home when I passed the computer and noticed the slideshow all ready to go. I clicked play and this popped up:
Maybe that should have scared me...Yes, I think that would have been an understandable reaction. I don't know what kind of snake that is, but it's awfully close to my baby boy. However, I surprised myself. I didn't even blink.
"Wow. That's a big snake," I observed and clicked on.
Looking back on it I've concluded one thing: I have immense trust in Mr. Wicke. If he is taking a picture of our boy two inches away from a mammoth snake, then I naturally assume it must be some sort of non-venomous show serpent. I don't question his judgement. When our kids are with him, I know they are okay. Period. Because if he is anything, he is a good man and a good father...and also a real trickster!
A few slides later this popped up:
Then this: (and yes, they actually saw this when driving out of the camp area. Isn't the desert great?!)
See what he did there? Clever, Thomas. Clever. And I fell for it! Hook, line, and sinker.
Man! I can't believe I trusted that guy!

Wow! He's pretty good with photoshop. I don't think I could've done that. And I would have freaked out and called him the second I saw the picture. Wish I were calm like you!
That's awesome! I love photoshop. That is one freaky snake.
I would have freaked out! Thomas has the best jokes in the world..where does he come up with this stuff?? Seriously, the spider monkey story is one of the funniest things I have EVER heard!
I freaked out for you! I was all, he let her baby boy near that ghastly thing?? What WAS he thinking?
Whew. So glad that was fake & your man has a steller sense of humor!
Ya I gasped, then thought how great it was he had a camera on hand to photo this non-venomous snake.
But I stared harder... we have a book called GANG filled with snakes. That one did not look like a good one.
Thomas is funny.....
HOLY MOLY!
I immediately figured it was non-venomous but non-venomoun snakes bite too! I wish I had photoshop but that would be just one more thing causing me to ignore my kids. lol!
Yikes! Good guy or not...If I would have seen that picture, I would have freaked. It wasn't even my child and I was freaked out by seeing this at first.
But, Now that I think about it, my guy is a trickster as well, and after being with him for some time now, I pretty much don't take anything he does seriously.
:) XOXO
I think I would have had a heart attack anyway, just for good measure!
Now you've got to figure out a good way to get him back! ;)
A classic trick from Mr. Wicke....
I seriously freaked out when I saw the first picture! You are a calm woman!
Did I miss the spider monkey story, repeat please??!
Yikes, you must have nerves of steel casue that freaked me out, even knowing it was a joke. I hate things that crawl or creep along.
EEEKKK!!!
Heart attack! I trust my hubby too, but that snake was too close for comfort...glad it was a fake!
Oh my goodness my stomach sank to my feet when I saw this picture. I thought it was a rattlesnake. Thomas IS good with photoshop! I def. would not have remained calm if that was Jacob!
