Belated Thursday Thirteen

Mommy was too tired last night to blog. Too tired to blog? I told her there was no such thing but she went to bed anyway. So this morning I demanded that she let me on to the blog to add my Thursday Thirteen. Daddy is off hunting vishus deer today but before he left she gave him a long list of rules he had to follow.

1. Come home safe.
2. Don't get sick. (he got really sick after he came home from hunting three years)
3. Don't get lost.
4. Pack a compass and flashlight.
5. Wear warm clothes.
6. Take extra water.
7. Pack food for emergencies.
8. Charge your cell phone and take it with you.
9. Call to check in so we know you are okay.
10. You have to pack your own food unless you give Mommy notice of what you need so she can plan in advance.
11. You have to make the plan for the trip.
12. Mommy is not to see any deer.
and 13. Have fun.

Sunday Drive

Mommy and Daddy went for a drive this Sunday and left us at home. They went to find out about renting a boat for when my auntie Kim and her boys Bernie and Ailin come visit later this summer. After looking at pontoon boats they can rent on the big lake, they drove up to where Daddy will be doing some armed hiking later this year (he calls it "hunting"). They brought me back these pictures.

This is the view from the road to the mountains:

This is the mountain that Daddy will be "hiking" in:

This is about the only thing that's likely to be shot:

Mommy learned that rhododendrens grow wild in the mountains:

Sorry Daisy, they didn't find any lizards, but they did find a frog. Can you research that? (Daddy has really good eyes to have spotted this one)
