A hunting we will go !

Since I'm here.... I better click something onto this keyboard.

The Pipster and I have now taken to walking down to the end of the dyke with strangers. It's good to do that kind of stuff.... it goes totally against the grain of anything I have ever taught in her 7 years so far. I'm kind of confused myself... here's the list so far:

  1. If you see a wild animal... back away; give it space...... So tonight we headed straight down to the end of the dyke where they like to sit and bath. Great.
  2. Don't talk to strangers.....We immediately begin talking to a couple.
  3. Don't follow strangers when they invite you to look at something. "Sure we'll come with you."
  4. Stay with the group you started with...... the majority of bear watchers were leaving, and the couple that we had walked down the little roadway were still observing a bear... the girl and I took off with the big bunch.....we left the couple in the dust !
  5. Stay in a large group....I picked up the pace... so that the Pip wasn't the last... the big tall whiney teenager with the stupid black hoodie over his head was last...bye bye baby!!

It was a good night... we got to see 4 bears.... there was a HUGE one way out in the blueberry fields... then there was one sitting on the dyke...and then when we were scrambling back when 2 medium fellas popped onto the roadway.. and they needed a quick nap... so the group had to stand their and wait.... problem being that the park gates get locked at 9:00... guess what time it was??? You know the outcome... because here I am.
