Uninvited Guest @ The McBride's

  We've had a visitor! A few nights in a row, Kevin chased this little baby possum off of our deck. Not really knowing whether he might be a threat to our pups, especially new little Rigby, we didn't want to take any chances!


We learned online that:
  - Possums aren't dangerous unless you try to grab them
  - Possums have fleas! That is the biggest threat they pose to pets.

  He must have really liked our place  - despite all of the dog smells I guess - because, it finally took Kevin and Brian poking him with a stick (not hard! Just herding a little) out the side deck gate and out of the front yard. He was last seen going into the neighbor's yard across the street (not the cool neighbors, the mean lady neighbor - she's the one that last year yelled at Kevin for raking leaves "The Stupid Way" - and her garage was open, so hopefully he went in there)

 He's *kind of cute because he's a baby I guess. But kind of not cute too.

McBrides on the GOAT!

We visited one of our favorite places in St. Croix Falls, WI today: the Fawn-Doe-Rosa Wildlife Park and Petting Zoo - its right down Hwy 8 from the cabin, so we got up "early" and were the first to arrive when the park opened at 10am. We (Elisa, Kevin, Riley, Madeleine, + cousins Corey and Mason) sang the many renditions of the "fawn-doe-rosa" song we came up with LAST year -Riley, of course, managed to keep his lyrics too-inappropriate-to-share...

Mason, Riley, Corey & Mad
Kevin + Goats

so hungry!

Mad + baby ducks and geese!
more friends: a really ugly duck, a peacock, raccoon, tiny goat.
* not pictured: grizzly bears, wolves, an elk...

more to come!
