A Certain Kind of Surprise Kind of Fun...
Dean and I flew to Arizona to visit my parents in Surprise, yes Surprise, right outside of Phoenix. While we were there we got to see tons of interesting wild life that you can see here, and some that you cannot see here. Being the Blondie that I am, I forgot our cameras. There were tons of ducks, geese and even a few swans. Lots of rabbits and different little birds that are native to Arizona. The community that my parents live in is full of these, so needless to say, there are lots of coyotes and foxes. On one of the last days there, actually it might have been the day after Gerry flew back to Kuwait to head to Iraq, Dean came running inside saying there was this gray thing on the wall and that I needed to check it out. He didn't know what it was and was really dying to know. So I head out the sliding back doors and start looking at my parents privacy cement wall and I really couldn't see anything. I was about to tell him that it must be gone or that he was seeing things (what a great mother am I), and there it was, a little baby kit fox. Needless to say, none of us got our cameras in time before this little pup decided enough was enough and that too many people were looking at him. So he jumped down and ran off, we didn't even get enough time to get dad rolled to the door to check out this little guy.
