We've been surrounded by animals all day today! Everywhere we go!
Well, I guess it started last night with a HUGE moth fluttering around and a crazy flying spider thing in our pantry.
Then this morning we met the squirrels at the park...
They both ran up the tree so we sat down and watched this little guy for a while. He held so still!
Then these two feisty little ones caught our eyes. They would stand up like this and "dance" then run around the tree.
This is one of them standing straight up.
After the park we came home. We turned on a movie and snuggled up on the couch. I kept hearing a bird chirping, but thought it was just part of the movie. It was a movie about turkeys so of course bird chips made sense, right?! Well the movie ended but the chirping continued. We used our detective skills and found this cute little guy in our garage.
Don't mind the mostly-naked child. She's harmless.
The girls were scared to get this close to a tiny bird but were more than willing to chase after those huge squirrels!
We opened the garage door so the bird could fly outside but he didn't. He circle us and landed on the door casing above our heads! The girls screamed and he flew up on to the cooler that's on top of our closet (yep, the closet we just built!)
He took a bit of encouragement but he finally spread his wings and left the nest. Leaving behind a feather to remember him by.
Who knows what animal we'll find hanging around next!
