Nanny Nanny

While we were in Yellowstone my dad was talking to the girls and somehow they started talking about mammals. My dad asked if they new the only mammal that laid eggs, of course we thought and thought but couldn't figure out the answer. It's the Duck Billed Platypus! He said, then when I asked if that was it, only 1 mammal that laid eggs instead of giving live birth he said there might be another but he couldn't think of what it was. Well, yesterday Shawna was playing on the computer and the game she was playing asked all kinds of questions, one of which was what do the Duck Billed Platypus and the Spiny Anteater have in common? You guessed it! They're both the only mammals that lay eggs instead of live birth! Shawna came running downstairs and asked if she could call her Grandpa, she left the funniest message that he was wrong and 2 mammals lay eggs! It was such a Nanny Nanny moment! Then Grandpa made sure to return her call saying he wasn't exactly wrong he just couldn't remember the 2nd mammal! It made me laugh!

Yellowstone 2008

We were so lucky to go to Yellowstone this last week! It was beautiful with all the spring flowers and the animals were so active, but mostly I liked getting away with my family and just spending time hanging out and sharing nature with my husband and kids. We had such a good time we're planning on going back next year and we can hardly wait!
