The Birds that Just Won't Leave

All summer long these dang birds pillaged our grapes. Every time the kids would go outside, at least 10 of them would scatter out of the grapes.

She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
