Late in the afternoon yesterday was just about the sweetest animal encounter I have ever experienced. A mamma deer had tucked her two new born babies in a little patch of grass about 50 yards away from our campsite. This amazes me since we are just about the wildest, loudest, and most active campers in the whole park. We have our own little ones running around making about as much noise as they can, so it’s a bit of a surprise that she felt her babies were safe near us. Maybe she thought all the noise we were making would scare off any predators. Pretty smart thinking mamma deer. Today we are packing up and heading home. It was a great trip, but I am really looking forward to a shower without frogs watching me.
