it was inside a ridiculously small square of caution tape.
[maybe 30ft x 30ft?]
someone must have told the rattlesnakes to stay inside the tape..?
because there were tons of people still playing at the playground not too far from them.
we were dumb and chose to stay and play too.
[it was way too much work getting the kids to the park to not enjoy it!]
we never saw anyone get bit by a snake. or a snake, for that matter.
but it was creepy to think they were so close.
we usually have playgroup at that park on wednesdays.
but yesterday we decided to switch things up. [not because of the snakes].

we went and played at a park on the beach instead.
the park was up in oxnard. it was about a 40 minute drive.
the boys and i hitched a ride up there with jade.
between jade and i, we had 4 kids in the back of her car.
it looked funny having so many car seats.
and it made me nervous to have so much potential for breakdowns in the back of one vehicle.
but the kids were all so good.
and on the way home we were lucky enough to have them all pass out!
we were pretty pleased with ourselves.

what i saw of oxnard was really neat.
lots of homes back on to canals that lead to the harbor.
and the canals are packed with all sorts of boats.
very picturesque.
the park was right beside the beach.
and the breeze from the ocean made for perfect kite flying conditions.
