We love nature....

  Hey all!
    Just thought I would post some really cool pics I took this past weekend and then also some fun we had.

             Its pickin strawberry time again, yay! I am actually going to a class with my friend soon on how to can jams and jellies.

                Conner finds every kind of spider you can think of on our neighbors fence, lol.

                        

                        This is still a mystery to me, what is this? It looks like little ladybugs.

               A Lemur at the fantasy corral petting zoo.

            Peew... a skunk

                                        Goats

               A turtle, Conner loved this guy, he pet it about ten times.

                            A baby Kangaroo!

                                          Carter liked the goats

                    Farmers market! When we go to farmers market we usually have to get the homemade Mennonite ice cream, delicious. This pic is the machine that makes that ice cream, pretty neat, huh.

                      Hunt hill was at farmers market, never knew anything about them, but its a great program and next year Conner can be in it. Its a wildlife program and kids learn about the outdoors and animals and such. Conner was digging for bones here.

                                 Turtle hat!

                             Cool pic!!

                              Maybe put this pic in the fair? What do ya think?

Our sweet baby bunny

      Ok so this past week was a sad week for us, well actually for me, because our baby bunny we rescued from Mia, died. I thought for sure I could save it and get it to live long. :(
  So on Wednesday Mia was playing with something and we went up to her and here it was a baby bunny. So I yelled at me to leave it alone and chased her away from it, well the bunny kept running toward Mia, I was thinking what are ya doin trying to get killed. Well here I found out from the neighbors the bunny thought Mia was its mom. So sad. Well we finally got Mia away from it and we put it in our little house. And then asked the neighbors what they thought we should do, so thank God, Justine had already raised a wild bunny once, so she told us what to do and feed it. So we went to the store and got Goats milk. The people at Pets Plus said this would work. So I got that and also put some of Cocoas bedding a box with newspaper cut up and made it nice and comfy for the lil thing. Then I read to feed it twice a day goats milk, so that's what I did. It ate really good with a syringe for a few days. Then after a long day at the campground on Saturday, we came back and it was time to feed the bunny, so I went to feed it and picked it up, but something wasn't right. It had its head up and just looked funny. So I quick ran to the neighbors ( they did warn us that it might die, due to change in enviroment, because hers did after a few months) and Justine tried feeding it and said thats how her bunny acted before it died. So she wasn't sure if it would make it. Well I tried to help it and make it nice and warm with a blanket. I even googled, what to do when your bunny is dying. But nothing really helped. So sometime during the night it died. I cried and cried. So sad and upset that I couldn't save the poor thing. I felt responsible and wanted to be able to let it go and show the boys too. But that was Gods will, I guess. So you will see our wonderful bunny that we had for a few days. We did bury it and said a few nice words. :) That is our bunny story. Who knows maybe I will get another chance to try and save a baby bunny and succeed next time.
                                                        God bless you all!!

                               Conner named it, Bunny. :)
