A good book...

Abby likes to read books in her bed before she goes to sleep at night, and today at nap time, Adrianna decided she would do the same. The only problem was she forget to put the book away before she fell asleep!! I had to get a picture before I took the book off her face!!

Baby Bunny Heaven

Sadly, the baby bunnies didn't make it. We waited for the mom to come back, but we don't know if she ever did. Every time we checked she wasn't there. Our neighbors were probably wondering what we were looking at all the time, especially once it was dark and we were out with a flashlight! This morning we found one bunny pulled out again and he was very weak. We don't know if he had crawled out of the burrow or was pulled out. We thought maybe she had to pull them out to nurse, but they never looked like they were getting any stronger.

Around 11 we took them to the vet to see if we could get some bunny formula to try to help them pull through, but by the time we made it there they had passed away. The vet said that she thought that they were old enough to be on their own because they didn't have a white mark on the top of their head anymore but they were very frail. She also said that of all the wild animals that rabbits are some of the hardest to try to nurse back to health once they have been abandoned.

The girls drew a pictures for them and we had a bunny funeral





This is a picture of the bunnies the day before they passed.

Mushroom epidemic

We have had a recent mushroom outbreak in our yard. It started out as just a couple and Q picked them very carefully so as not to spread the spores all around. Then the next day there were more, and we picked those and more grew in their place until we went out and picked this whole bag full at once. Thankfully that was pretty much the end of the mushrooms!

We play in the yard way too much to have to share it with some fungus!!

Going' to the lodge.....

We went to Great Wolf Lodge again and it was nice to be only about an hour away instead of the 3 hrs we used to drive from Annapolis. The girls had a great time and we stayed in the water more this time than we ever have before. The second day Adrianna was pretty tired and said" Bye-bye water" when she had had enough!
