Just out to play

Otter and I like to just play see what we can think of doing and just go for it.

He is so much fun to play with. It is hard to believe that just 2 years ago

when I got him for the Mustang Makeover he was so very Wild.

Otter’s First Parade

This was a great forth of July, Otter was in his first Parade and he did wonderful.
 
This is Me getting Otter Dressed,
He has Sponge Bob Water Wings on,
He stood very still for me to blowing them up.
 

Blowing up waterwings,

   

 

 
We’re almost dressed,
 

  
 
OK  here we are all dressed for the Parade.
 

 

 
This is us in the Parade going down main street.
 

 

 

 
 
My sister is the one driving the quad, she is pulling a trailer with a pool
full of water and all kinds of fun pool toys in the pool and on the quad
She was also blowing bubbles.
 

Hatching out baby chicks,

My dad pulled out the old incubator last month and we decided to give it a try, My mom said we hatched out some baby’s before but since I don’t remember it, it doesn’t count.

I talked to a new friend that has some wonderful breeds of chickend and got a few eggs, Well after what seemed to be for ever (you know how slow 28 days go by when you are watching an egg just sit there) we finally got some movement.

Andy and I watched the first one hatch from start to finish. We could even hear the chick peeping befor the egg even had a crack in it. It was SO COOL!

 

Now we have these wonderful little baby’s Light Brahmas and one Golden Laced Wyandottes.

Now the incubator is full of Guinea eggs (from my Guineas)

The mighty Bee Hunter,

We have these Big Black bees that are chewing up our car port and

everything else that is wood around our house, They are terrible little or should I say Big Bees and we have hundreds of them around.

 

My Dad The Mighty Bee Hunter is out to net and squish these awful bees. He grabs his trusty butterfly net with the home made extend a handle and the hunt begins, The Mighty Hunter standing quietly at the care port waiting for his pry.

 

 

Then he spots one and the chase is one,

 

 

The Mighty Hunter never slows, he paces him self determined to net his pry,

 

 

He swings the trusty net Left then Right and stretcher as fare as he can never tacking his eyes off this pry.

 

 

 

Wait! He fills something in his net, could it be? dose he have one of those terrible wood chewing black things?

Yes, Yes, there is one in his trusty net.

 

 

 

 

Then the Mighty Hunter dose what all good Bee hunters would do Yep, He Squishes the bee and then dumps it out of his net on to the driveway so he can admire his hard work.

 

Good Job Mighty Bee Hunter,

We are proud of you!
