The Zoo!

Our house is nestled at the edge of a canyon. A very large canyon. Most canyons consist of animals. Well, when your house is at the edge and animals roam the canyon, they occasionally come close to home. Why do I need to go to the zoo when I can just look out my window and see all sorts of animals? Almost every day, we see animals in our yard. We have a large wild rose bush out in the pasture, and we have a ton of quail that live in it. These are the animals from the Allen Zoo:

This is a turkey that came running to our house one night. He is one of the smaller ones that we've seen around.

This animal is very hard to see. If you look at the center of the picture, there is a black dot. What is it?? A Bear! We have many bears in our canyon. I'm telling you, who needs the zoo?!

Here is our little quail babies. They are so cute all running around. They are very scared of us, so we can't make any fast movements if we are watching them. Even when we are in the house!

I took this picture from my kitchen window. Deer are always coming up into the pasture with the horses. Most of them aren't too scared of us. They just sit there and look at us.

Well, now nobody needs to go to the zoo. They can just keep looking at these pictures. We also have snakes, but I'm too scared of them to get close enough to take pictures. I just have Justin kill or chase them away!!
