Evacuating Irma- A Bunny's Eye View

Those humans are strange.
They stay indoors for weeks, only coming out to feed me.
Then suddenly they run around like they've lost there minds.
They're taking everything away.
She, the one who feeds me, looks like she's about to cry.  Her hair is falling everywhere and here eyes look larger than normal.   The boy who gives me water and her are carrying everything away.
She takes my food containers.
That dog got out again and those humans have to catch him.
She scoops me out of my comfortable cage and puts me in that dog's crate for a few minutes.  As soon as I get settled she pulls me out and puts me in a tiny box.
They all sound terrified.
I feel her carrying me in the box.
She lets me out and I'm in her bedroom. It looks like every possession she ever had was out.  She wraps up her fragile treasures and puts them in a large box.  Her father knocks on the door.  She looks around the room frantically.  She grabs a few last items and puts me in the tiny box.
I feel her carrying me in the box.
I jolt and we're moving faster than I ever had before.  That dog is spasming out and those humans sound terrified.
She is concerned about me and pulls me out of the box. I take it all in.  We're in a rolling box and the whole family is crammed into it.  The boy is resting on her shoulder.  The dog wants to eat me.  The boy grabs the dog and she puts me back into the tiny box.
We roll for hours and hours stopping at random times.
Finally, she carries my box into a rolling house.
Bright lights and loud voices.
She carries me back to the rolling box.
Hours later she carries me back into the rolling house, sets me down and falls dead asleep on her pile of belongings.
We wake up and she carries me to the rolling box.  We roll for hours and hours and hours.
She pulls me out of the tiny box and I breath fresh, grassy air.  She looks dirty and so does the rest of her family.  They're all covered in that dog's hair.
She puts me back into the tiny box and we roll for hours.
The world gets dark and she puts me into the rolling house.
We wake up and she carries me outside and puts me in a large crate.
Then she disappears.
The world gets dark,she pulls me out of the crate,puts me in the tiny box, and carries me into the rolling house.
We wake up.
I sit in the crate and eat my hay and drink my water.  She pulls me out and lets me run.  She follows me.
She puts me back into the crate.
The world gets dark,she pulls me out of the crate,puts me in the tiny box, and carries me into the rolling house.
We wake up and she puts me in the tiny box and we roll for hours.
The same thing happens, tiny box, crate, tiny box... rolling for hours and hours.  Will she just pick a crate?
We roll for hours suddenly we're back in her room.  She is trying to arrange her luggage. She seems happy.
She puts me back in my comfortable cage and I go to sleep.



Little Adventures

One of the things I love about my family is our spontaneity. Over the past month my family has gone on several little adventures.

This afternoon I tried to write a blog post.  As I read my post, I realized that it was boring and only interesting to myself.  So, I left the post as a draft and gave up for the day.  I knew I had to work out, but I really did not want to climb onto the treadmill.  I asked my dad if we could go do something so all five of us climbed into the suburban and headed down to the everglades!  Things like this have been happening since the beginning of August.

We began the month having adventures in Orlando.

Relaxing by the pool at my Grandma's condo
Shopping with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins

My mom, brother, sister and I went to Disney Springs one night and had the best time.  We ate at planet Hollywood and then visited the coke factory.  There was a live show and we sat at the top of the store.  We sampled "around the world", sodas from foreign countries.




The last day at Orlando my amazing older brother took me to see Spider Man and took this picture with Thor.



Then there was a whirlwind of getting my brother ready for college.  I was babysitting my two other siblings the whole week.  Because we had been in the house all week my dad took us to the beach.

The rest of that week was full of social fun.  We went jumping at a trampoline park, had dinner at our
 ate Chick-fil-a with friends late on Wednesday night, and went to the beach with some good friends.




After my brother left, My grandma took us to a pottery shop where you paint your own piece of pottery.  She also took us to Cracker Barrel.


Then I had a crazy social week.


  Friday, I hung out with the young adults because my sweet, thoughtful friends figured I was lonely without my brother.  Tuesday, I went to the movie All Saints with my friends from youth group. Wednesday, I went to a concert at church. Thursday, I went to a farewell party for a sweet lady from my drama group. Friday, I went to Lime with my family and the gym with my mom.

Yesterday, I walked my first 5k.

Finally this evening, I took a walk in the Everglades.
