Baby Coons

While we were talking to our friends we met up with from Yellowstone, an interesting story came up.  Apparently they had some friends who found a pesky racoon hanging around their property this spring.  They caught it and drove it up to a canyon and let it loose, only to find a few days later two baby racoons in one of their trees.  These babies were obviously not in good conditions, and these people knew what good animal caretakers (aka, suckers!) these friends of ours were.  They came knocking on their door with these baby racoons and our friends took them in and nursed them back to health.  Now, about three months later, they have to frisky pet racoons living in their home!  A couple weeks after we got home from Yellowstone, we went over to their house to see their great pictures of Yellowstone and to hold and pet their baby racoons.  The kids had a blast.  Kimball especially couldn't leave those little coons alone.  Even Anna and Adam were excited about their animals.

Anna was unsure, but look how brave!

We took a ton of pictures.  Someday my kids are going to look back on this blog and for fear of them thinking I love one child more than another, I am putting pictures of ALL of them holding all the animals.  So, forgive the plethora of pictures and understand I'm just trying to be a loving and fair mom.

 We were all enjoying the racoons, when she brought out their pet turtle as well.  The kids were beside themselves.
