"Saving Snails"

Emry has a BFF and her name is Erin.  Erin and Emry are the type of friends that can play together all day long and then stay up to all hours of the night laughing, and never fight...makes my heart feel happy to see them together.  Anyway, we had Erin at our house to play and they decided to "save the snails" from the coyotes.  I didn't know they were doing this.  We were midway thru making a rainbow cake (yes they are 100% girlie), waiting for the cake to bake and cool.  The girls had been outside playing and asked me for a bucket.  I obliged and went on with my business.  Now fast forward about an hour.  I walk out our back porch doors and was greeted by this:

It looked more like a great escape than a rescue to me, but who am I to interpret for a crowd of snails.  Maybe they were extremely grateful and thankful that finally someone had noticed them and helped pull them out of dangers path....are snails even on a coyote's menu??



Emry & Erin were very proud of themselves and very sad when I made them return the snails to the wild.  During all of this we discussed why wild animals don't make great pets, in case you're wondering where their train of thought was headed.
