My attempt at a picture - it was hiding.
Someone else's picture of the whole animal

More animals...
I'm starting to think my house is better than a zoo. Today I saw something outside our front door and told the kids, "Look - there's a..."(I thought it was a cat but then I saw that long ringed skinny tale) - it was an ARMADILLO! Really I was so excited, I have only seen huge ones in the zoo or dead ones on the road. I ran outside to get a better look and dragged Kenna and Brett out with me too. Something about these strange animals intrigues me - it was just a little one but I was still so excited. I mean really, have you ever seen an animal like this? It made my day. Finally after 7 years in TX, I have seen a real armadillo in my very own yard!

Armadillos are one of my favorites! We see them in Florida ALL the time. In fact, we were in the hot tub a few weeks ago and one wandered by. I think Ryan thinks he lives in a foreign country with all the new bugs/animals down there. He was thrilled about it!
Very cool! We have the "armor-less" armadillo's here....better known as opposums. They are mostly seen as road-kill, but every now and then I'll spot one and be like..."LOOK! It's a opposum and it's ALIVE!" ha ha
