Baby Animals

Ok, so it feels like summer out side with temperatures in the high 90's, but Mother Nature is telling us it is still spring with all the baby animals. A couple weeks ago we found a baby bird in the back of Geoff's truck. It couldn't seem to fly so we brought it inside to feed it and protect it. Well a couple hours later, when it's wings had dried out, it decided to try this flying thing around our house. Mostly it was just little ones, so we easily caught it and the kids all let him perch on their fingers. We decided it had better go back outside. When we put it on the grass it just sat there looking at us for a few minutes and then took flight out of sight. (I guess it wasn't as young as we thought.)

Well yesterday, the kids came running inside saying there was a baby bunny in our yard. So we had to rescue it too. We finally found a little rabbit hole in our yard with two more baby bunnies in it. Well they were to cute to resist and we had to hold them too. (Hopefully mommy still comes back and care for them.) Everyone wanted to take care of them including Oscar. He mainly just sniffed them and nudged them with his nose and tried to get them to hop. But now he is obsessed and keeps ringing his bell to go out and check on there hole.

Ok, so for those who knew me when I was little, I loved animals, so it was mostly me trying to rescue them. But I have to tell you that Hayley is following closely on my heels, now she wants to be a vet when she grows up. And she checks the rabbit hole as much as Oscar, seeing if mom came back, making sure they didn't hop away, and trying to feed them.

And now Alex and I are off to camp, girl's camp and twilight camp for scouts. We'll keep you posted on any other animal sitings.
