Backyard Water Fun

It’s so hot in the summer that any outdoor activities are just out of the question, except playing with water I guess. Here’s Lorelai having fun playing with water with Grandma.

Butt & Her 2 New Babies

Not too long ago we discovered that we had a new neighbor in our backyard, which we later named Butt. And for the most of last week, we tried to check on her but couldn’t find her – we were kinda worried/disappointed that something might have happened to her. Then yesterday, we saw 2 little beaks pointing out of the little nest, with Butt standing guard on top of a tree.

Of course we had to come up with names for the new arrivals. I’ll give you 2 guesses. Ready? Here are the new additions, Left Cheek & Right Cheek.

And here’s the feeder that I had mentioned before. Hopefully it’s making their lives easier.

Well, all 3 Butts are gone :( I guess the baby Butts are old enough and took off. We haven’t seen them around for 3 days. Good luck, Butts!

Backyard Pool Fun + Our New Neighbor

We had big plans over the past weekend, but unfortunately, it was just so freaking hot outside (~100F) that they did not get executed. What were the plans you ask? Bah… Doesn’t matter anymore because it didn’t happen. The summer weather is just so HOT here in the inlands that it makes you just want to stay inside, be lazy, and out of the sun, which is mostly of what we did.

We did, however, feel bad about locking Lorelai up inside the house all day due to our own laziness, that we broke out our newly purchased deluxe backyard pool from BabiesRUs and let her have a go in the backyard. Mind you, it’s 100 degrees outside, but a “certain” member of the Lin team was concerned that Lorelai might get a cold outside if it’s just cold water, so we filled the pool up with warm water under the 100 degree weather. (Obviously, my objections were overruled)

Lorelai had lots of fun, so much fun that she cried when we tried to take her out of the pool. LOLz.

While out in the backyard, we noticed that we have a new neighbor – a humming bird had made a nest in a tree in the backyard! Cool eh? We decided to name the little dude “Butt”, since that’s the 1st word that Lorelai keeps saying clearly (Seriously, not kidding. You can clearly hear the “t” sound at the end every time!). After the pool, we stopped by Home Depot to get a humming bird feeder for Butt. We hope he’ll hang out us more and be comfortable.
