Our recap of the trip wouldn't be complete without telling you about the animals that came to visit US at our hotel room. You just thought we saw animals behind cages and in aquariums. Oh, no, no, no my friends.....
....Saturday night as we sat on the patio of our room at the resort, we reclined back in big white Adirondack chairs and quietly sipped margaritas as we recapped the success of the conference and group activities.
as we were sitting there, it was well beyond 10 pm and it was dark -- no light on our patio, just the stars in the sky and a glimmer of the moon. In an instant I caught a glimpse of something black on our patio. And it walked right towards us and then walked within one foot of my happy little Adirondack chair. As I glanced down to the movement I could see the sheen of the skunk's white stripe down it's back and I clenched Matt's hand in fear. I was terrified the skunk was going to come spray us and I would have to take a tomato juice bath for a week!
Fortunately the skunk appeared to not even know we were there. Matt joked that he had just woken up and wouldn't have come that close if he had known we were there, "He hadn't had his Starbucks yet" and was still wandering around like a sleepy little skunk.
Whew! Get a grande latte for that boy and tell him to beat it! And can you believe we saw a skunk at the resort later the next night?
On a much happier note, 2 mallards came to our patio in the afternoon one day and Colin adored his feathered visitors. That was a treat for a kid who loves ducks as much as his dad does.
