Wild Animal Weekend






Wow....okay. It started out Friday night when I came home from a conference I had to attend for my masters program. Michael told me we had new additions to the family. Apparently the guys spotted two newborn wild ducklings on the side of the road and they decided to pick them up and bring 'em home. They were simply adorable. Loud, but definitely cute. We kept them overnight and Michael took them to a bird rescue the next morning.

We went to my in-laws new cabin in Lake Tahoe for the Father's Day weekend. It is a very beautiful and scenic place...very calm and fresh. We had a good time. The first night there, we were all playing cards and we heard rustling outside. The neighbor told my father-in-law that there was a good sized bear that was coming around at night, so we naturally freaked out at the sound. Turned out to be a big-ass raccoon looking for food on the deck. That sucker wasn't afraid of people AT ALL. The little ones thought it was the coolest thing to see a real live raccoon....right out of "Over the Hedge."

Then Father Day afternoon, the entire family drove to Emerald Bay for a 2-mile hike that took us to Eagle Lake. It was a hike that kicked our ass, but it was very fun and well worth it. My legs are still throbbing....LOL I am proud of myself for doing it without complaint and being pregnant!!! Once we reached the lake, we saw chipmunks and blue jays.

So as you can see, we had a wild animal weekend.

Today I went to school for a summer school meeting. Seems like summer school is going to be quite fun. The district spent lots of money on giving us plently of supplies. Makes me wonder why they don't take care of us like this for the regular school year. I'll be doing 2-3 combo...and guess who is in my class? Lil' Walter. Oh boy.
