Red, White, and Blue

I'm sorry I haven't posted lately, but I've been at my grandparents' house! (They're the ones that take us to Bald Head Island.)They live on a lake and we have all sorts of fun. On Tuesday, my grandma, mom, sister, and I went blueberry picking. (BLUE!)



Most of the blueberries were unripe, but we still got a bunch. Here's my sister holding some:



My mom also told us about a ladybug project where you can send in pictures of ladybugs (RED!) to help with research. We found a ladybug there, so we took its picture and sent it in. Here's the ladybug in a cool but out-of-focus photo:

Later that evening, we all went over to my grandparents' friends to see their new kitten, Aladdin. He is a Flame Point Himalayan (WHITE!) He was so cute!!!



While we were there, one of the granddaughters told us about how she and her dad had rescued a drowning baby bluebird while kayaking. This got our attention, because we had baby bluebirds at grandparents' house! We ran back to the house to discover that one of the babies was gone! That was when I realized I had looked at the nest earlier that day and one of the birds had flown out! I had thought it had been a parent that flew out. So, my sister and I rushed back down to the friends' house with a container. Just as I was about to grab the baby, it fluttered away into some tall trees. The dad that had rescued the drowning bird helped me look for it, but we just couldn't find it! Finally, as we were about to give up, I saw a patch of spotted blueish- gray feathers! The dad grabbed it for me, and we hurried back to my grandparents' house with the bird in the container. My mom and grandpa put it back in its nest. Phew!
