armadillos....everywhere!!!


They opened up a new trail by our house so we went on a little family walk this evening 
and saw no less than SEVEN armadillos!!
The first one we saw about gave me a heart attack...until I realized they're harmless.
We'd never seen one before. Pretty cool hu?! :)

    Oh cool, where is this? I want to see one! Did you know the only way you can get leprosy in the US is my touching an armadillos foot? Ha ha! Dan tells me that all the time. Gross.

    By the way Lindsey, this is just by the canals by our house. Did you see the new bridge they put in?

    The first time I ever saw an armadillo was went I went with Marie to Orlando for a cheerleading competition (1997?) I watched them from the bus window all along the freeway (and also noticed that all the homes had porches which were completely covered with wire netting). It made me wonder about all the unusual creatures that must live in the South!

    I haven't seen the new bridge yet. Alise and I are going walking this week- I will text you the details. Come with us!! We can keep our eyes out for them, and make sure to not touch their feet :)

    I'm LOVING your sunglasses Lauren! And I'm glad you found the armadillos! I tried to take a pic of one yesterday but got to nervous. You got some good pics. They sure are funny looking things! Who knew so many of them lived RIGHT by us!
