Chasing Rabbits

I will post San Francisco pictures soon, I promise.
We had a wonderful weekend-the kind of fun, free weekend with no major plans except a Birthday Party. We spent Saturday at a pool party and then at the pool. It was really the only thing to do since it was so hot and my kids aren't really allowed to stay inside.

I really love going to the pool because it does this to my kids...
...and I love worn out kids.

After church Sunday it was too hot again for plain outside time so I hooked up the slip n slide and had the neighbor kids over for water hose fun. That little idea turned into something entirely different. The kids saw a baby rabbit hop into our garage so an all out bunny hunt ensued.
It didn't take them long to wrangle that one little bunny play with him and release him back in the yard.

After Daddy got home he checked under the slide and this is what we found:

Three bunnies, soaking wet from our water day. Jackson, Linley and I ran around and caught baby bunnies while Darrell laughed at us for not being able to keep up with the tiny critters. Jackson then convinced Darrell to relocate the animals instead of, well, you know.


After this video Jackson went back out in the yard and found yet another bunny. It too was taken to it's new home with its brothers and sisters. Oh and Jackson thinks they were all sisters because he turned them over:)

It was very exciting and I am sure Jackson will be hunting rabbits for weeks to come in hopes of finding more. AT least we hadn't run over them with the lawn mower yet.
