Summertime Blues

I miss summer.

I've NEVER been a big fan of summer UNTIL this year.

I want it back.

In honor of summer, here are some "year-end" pics of our last week before school started.

First up: 
Is this a hummingbird?If it is -- cool. If not, oooooouuuuuuhhhhh -- what the heck is it?

Next up: Art Alley






We explored. We oooohhhhed and aaaaahhhhheeed at the amazing talent. And it was such a super fun place to take pics.  As you can see by the above picture - Nathan was EXTREMELY sick of me taking pictures of him!

Trip 2 to Flintstones:So much fun!  And the best part:
Feeding these little "ground squirrels." We called them chipmunks and were corrected every time by "the expert" (a man that worked there). They live in a hole underneath the garbage can. There were at least four of them. After HOURS of sitting there, they began to trust us and three of the four would take popcorn straight from our hands. Even "the expert" was shocked.

Return to Reptile Gardens:
Big:Little:

Look close: It's the hind-end of a bumblebee in a flower. 

Man... it is the littlest things that please this mama!

Summer, please come back!!!!!!!
