For those of you who can't tell in the photo, he's holding a rattle from a rattlesnake. 
Aaron proclaims that he killed a rattlesnake, and is obviously very proud of this manly accomplishment. As for me, I'm in shock, and a little disbelief (I thought they had just been riding around the neighborhood). Toby then tells me the full story...
As they were riding, Aaron rode his bike over the snake, that was apparently sunning itself to warm up and was a little sluggish. Luckily, Aaron didn't stop right away after running over it. He tells Toby that he just ran over a snake, but he was pretty sure it was dead. When Toby takes a closer look, the snake perks up and starts rattling and hissing away That's when he realizes that it was no mere snake, but was the big-daddy-king-of-all-snakes here in Texas. They grab a few rocks and start hurling them at the snake, and eventually kill the evil monster. Aaron then pulls out his pocket knife and Toby cuts off its head and tail.
So now, Aaron has a great Show and Tell for school Friday!
