Summer Thunder Showers in Utah are fantastic. One afternoon we went on the front porch to see the rain. And there were snails! With 4 children to entertain we grabbed a bucket and scoured the yard.
40 snails. 40 SNAILS. What is wrong with our planters! We lined them all up on the stair to count.
They are fast little guys.
Maggie loved them until one snuck on to her toes. She let out a wail and was traumatized.
Maddux wanted to stomp the snails and Heidi told Cooper to pour salt on them. Why not do both!
Cooper began with salt. Once the snail was bubbling Maddux would stomp.
Snails make a creepy crack then oozey sound.
Totally disgusting.
The kids lost interest and I got to clean up the neon green slime and shells.
Did you know snail guts stink. Well, they do. Badly.
Next time we will not smoosh snails on the front porch.
Yuck.
