SO LONG GRANDMA & PAW-PAW


Today we said goodbye to my parents before their long trek back to Georgia. They stopped in California for a week then came back to our house on the way home for a few more days. It was nice to see them again and they totally spoiled Nate rotten (naturally). We managed to get a group shot before they took off...in between Nate's crying & crankiness because he skipped a morning nap. Gotta be quick with the little guy! This photo was taken on our deck overlooking the desert landscape. We saw quite a few wildlife this weekend while my parents were here...a coyote, roadrunner, rattlesnake and a bobcat with her kittens! We were out driving and I saw this huge cat run across the road. It's a strange feeling when your mind says "cat" but what you see looks much bigger. I backed up the truck and next to the road was a bobcat & 3 or 4 "kittens". I put kittens in quotes because they were the size of a full grown cat! It was our first bobcat sighting and unfortunately we were so awestruck that we fumbled around the car for the camera and by the time we got it, the cats were darting under a fence. Too cool!

What an awesome picture, you all look so happy. I bet your parents went crazy over Nate.
We are coming to Arizona, I want to see some cool wildlife. The only animal around here is the pesky little squirrel.
