Fun fact: Narcisse, Manitoba has the highest concentration of red-sided garter snakes in the world and is protected by the Government of Manitoba

it's also garter snake mating season right now

which meant that despite a hangover and being tired as fawk

yr heroes made the trip out to the Narcisse Snake Pits to go see some snake balls n play with snakes



(you can't really see, but there are huge snake gangbangs going on down in that snake pit)





For those of you who've never played around with garter snakes it's a ton of fun

snakes usually freak me out a bit but these little doods are so cute and have no problem being picked up

tons of little kids were doing it but I don't have any pictures of them because taking photos of other people's kids is creepy

so I took photos of my lovely lady-friends and Tyrone instead.



We also packed a tasty picnic and some on-the-go vodka & apple ciders

which I highly recommend for any type of outdoor group activity

(good call on that one, Shawna)



Someone had a lie-down while we drove home and listened to episodes of Radiolab.

Snake mating season is wrapping up soon (within the next few weeks) but if you're in Manitoba and want a fun mini day-trip I can't recommend it enough!
