Deer!!!!!

This morning when I woke up I opened the blinds to the slidind door at the back of our house. It's my routine every morning. I only opened it a little because the sun shines in and makes the house hot. After I open the blinds, I always look out to see if anything's in the back yard. . .racoons, turtles, lizards, frogs, deer, anything.

I was so surprised when I looked out and saw a deer. Actually, it was a fawn! It had white spots all over and was so cute!

Jason got Nalani and Hokulani out of their room to come and see the fawn. We had to be very quiet because it had noticed that I opened the blinds, and was being cautious.

I grabbed the camera and tried to take a picture without making the blinds move. Then I noticed another deer; possibly the mom (a doe). It's on the right side of this picture.

We continued watching the deer for a while, even as they moved closer to the neighbor's yard. Soon we noticed a third deer. We couldn't believe our luck. Hokulani said it must be the dad, but we don't know.

We were so excited to see deer in our backyard after not seeing them for such a long time.
