Chattahoochee Nature Center
Here is the Abster, post-op day #2. She is looking better as the swelling is going down. However, she has been having a bit of a rough time and hasn't been her usual smiley self... her eyes must itch and hurt as she is constantly wanting to rub them. She also is very light sensitive. And, on top of all that, she is on a hunger strike! She hasn't eaten any solids since before the surgery. But, she has become much more inquisitive and mobile since she is able to see more.
Catie must have enjoyed her vanilla ice cream with sprinkles at the Chattahoochee Nature Center because she walk up to a stranger and said, "Hi, my name is Catie and I had sprinkles on my ice cream!"

This was the highlight of the weekend... the kids got to see a real live opossum!! Ann volunteered to help with next year's Possum Trot (a 1 mile fun run), and as a result of knowing people in high places at the Nature Center, we got to see a possum. Jackson kept the naturalist on his toes with all of his knowledge! He reminded him that "possums dig holes with their front paws and then nestle their noses into the ground to get food, like bugs."
Here's the close-up of the little fellow...
Brown Eyes seemed to be enjoying the visit with his relatives.
Here, Brown Eyes is showing the possum how to "play possum" or for you lay people, "play dead."
The kids pose for a picture with the naturalist.
