Good and Bad

The kids and I have been studying Australia.  I love Australia and it is always fun to learn more about it.  Today we learned about the marsupials that live there.  The girls were surprised to learn of the variety of marsupials that exist.

We haven't seen our bear friend in the last few days but several of our neighbors have had bears in their yards too.  That is pretty scary.  We also have a terrible tick infestation right in our yard!!!!  Every time any one walks into our yard, they come out with several ticks on them!!! It is awful.  I HATE that I can't let my kids go outside because I am afraid something (tick or bear) will munch on them!!  This sucks!
