Tonight Daddy and Momma let us stay up late so we could watch the moon move across the sun.  It is an annular lunar eclipse.  The moon is not as big as the sun, so it won’t completely cover it. We watched it on the computer 🙂

Let me know if you see it too!

 

We were eating outside and I  said to Mommy,   “I see a chipmunk!” Momma looked around and she could not find it. I pointed and Momma still could not see it. Then Andrea said she saw it. Then Momma looked again, and saw it.

She said if I wanted a picture of the silly chipmunk to go get the camera. I did and Mr. Chipmunk was still there.  Momma took another step and Mr. Chipmunk ran away!

About two weeks ago, I asked Momma if we could look in the nest in the window by our front door.  We found three or four eggs!

A few days later there were two babies. The next time we checked all the babies had hatched and had fuzz on them.

We checked them again and they had wings that we could see and feathers.

Today we were helping do something for Daddy outside and we saw three things fly out of the nest.  We think they were Momma bird, Daddy bird and baby bird. The baby bird was learning how to fly! He did good.  We watched him for a little bit and then he watched his mom– or his dad–fly.

He flew with his mom and caught a branch.  He forgot to fly and was starting to fall and then he remembered he could fly! We are watching for the other ones to learn how to fly.

I will be sad when they all leave the nest because we won’t be able to watch them grow more. But I am going to be happy that the baby birds can play and then mate and then have more babies.  Hopefully they will build their nest so we can watch their families grow!

Queen is a new alpaca from across the street. She is a surprise because she was supposed to be born the end of this month!  She is only six days old! We put her and her mom in a little stall together and Queen’s big brother kept coming into the crea area right beside where Queen is kept. He kept peeking in and saying, “can you come out and play? Can Queenie play too?”

Yesterday we took the two alpacas outside to the field to play for a little bit. The three creas were playing with Queen. When we brought them in, I got to hold Queen.  She is heavy, but not as heavy as Megan.  Her fiber feels soft!

         On Friday, two baby goats were born across the street. The one that I am holding is named Friday.  His sister is Peaches. I got to hold them both, but only got one picture.

I like the goats!
