After supper tonight, hubby, the kids and I decided to head on over to the Nature Park for a walk. By the time we got there it was about 7:30 so we decided to park outside the park entrance and walk the Squirrel Trail, think it's something like 35-40 minutes? We are probably about three quarters of the way done when we notice something on the path ahead of us...
Husband to son: STOP! Look up in front of you on the path! A porcupine!
My son, who apparently thinks he is Porcupine Dundee, proceeds up the path to get a closer look.
Me, the freaky mother hen that I am, yell at him to back away from it incase he gets to close and it feels threatened!
Son: What will it do?
Me: Well he "could" turn around and come at you and try and stick you with his quills!
Son: What do we do if he does turn around?
Husband: We turn and run the other way. All we have to do is be able to outrun your mom! (since I'm obviously the slowest LMAO)
I love family outtings!
