Week in Review

This week:

We found a baby bird that had fallen from a nest in a palm tree near out house.  There had been a storm overnight and we think that is why it fell.  Thinking it best, Rob got a ladder and put it back in the nest, but evidently it was not accepted back and it fell again and died.  Of course the take away for the kids is: we should have hand raised it.

It was a mockingbird.

The same storm caused a tornado that hit the park where we take swimming.  Caleb and Irene and I surveyed the damage - it was pretty minimal, but the playground cover was torn off and that looked impressive!

More room work!

Spotted a thirsty lizard!

Hit the beach:

Tammie came to visit!!!!!!

We finished swimming lessons:

Natalie & coach

And I don't have a picture, but there was a BEAR in our neighborhood.  It had to be tranquilized and removed.  It was about two streets away from our house in a tree we've walked by hundreds of times.  There are plenty of bears in Florida, but not in our part of Florida, so it is a real mystery how it got there.
