Fossil Butte

For Memorial Day after fishing we went to Fossil Butte National Monument. It is only an hours drive from us but we have never been. There are a lot of fossils in the museum to look at and if you go on the weekend you can help them dig for the fossils. The kids standing in front of some of the fossils that have been found there

Bird Refuge

On Sunday we went for a drive out to the bird refuge. We love to go out there this time of year and see all of the baby birds. We also get to see lots of skunks. On our trip Sunday we saw 5 live skunks and 3 dead ones. Sadly I didn't get a picture of any of them. We did get some pretty good pictures of the birds and their babies. I don't know what all of the birds are but I wish I did. Maybe one of these days I will do my research so that I know what I am looking at. Geese with their gooslings

Griffin and Skunk

Skunk and Griffin are the best of buds. Griffin loves to pull skunk's hair and Skunk loves to cuddle with Griffin. I have to be careful because Skunk LOVES to take naps with Griffin in his bed. I can't believe how patient Skunk is with Griffin. He will sit on Griffin's lap and just let him pull on his hair. It is really fun to watch and makes for some cute pictures.

Video Games

Who says video games are not good family time?
