Summer Adventures

It's been a long long time since I've been at my blog, so I thought I'd attempt to post every now and then again... hopefully I'll stick to it!
I thought I'd start by posting a few pictures of some of the summers' adventures so far...

One of our first outings was to the Royal Botanical Gardens where there's a trail to walk and feed the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, etc. It's such a fun place to go, and is always so beautiful. 

Of course, I could sit there and feed the birds all day!

Overall, it was a super nice day with mom, dad, Bill and T ~ feeding the birds, chipmunks, etc, and then eating a great picnic lunch... what a perfect way to start off the summer!

Next was a visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake with mom and Aunt Francine. We spent the entire afternoon/evening there, just walking around town and browsing in some shops. Of course we stopped for some Starbucks too (yum!)...

Mulligan came with and was very good! But he did get pretty tired from all the excitement, and for the last half hour Aunt Francine carried him around like this... he was mighty comfy!

We all loved this great little car parked at the side of the road, that happened to match so nice with the tulips beside it, and the overall decor of the town :)

I had a nice morning a few weeks ago with Aunt Ingrid, as we went to Port Dalhousie for breakfast and a nice walk (a summertime must-do!). We met a rather large family of geese there... a mother and father with 13 little goslings!! I've never seen that many goslings in one family before... it sure was cute!

And the next "adventure" was the weekend with the quintuplet squirrels! Mulligan found 5 abandoned baby squirrels in a garden, and so with the help of some of the girls here at the March of Dimes we got them inside, warm and cozy, and kept them well fed! (had to feed them every 4 hours!)

They don't really look like squirrels yet, because they were only 2 weeks old (at the most)... no fur at all, and their eyes weren't open yet. They were completely helpless. We had a great time taking care of them. It was a full-time thing for those few days, but we loved every minute of it! 

I finally got in touch with a place nearby that was licensed to rehabilitate wildlife, and they said they could take the squirrels for us and make sure they got complete proper care and rehabilitation. So off they went to their new home! They will be taken care of there until they're ready to be released in the early fall. :)

So those are just a few of my summer adventures so far! But it's only June, so there'll be lots more to come! Stay tuned!
