Here comes Peter Cotton Tail!

Look what Chad found at back this morning, a baby cottontail rabbit!





Of course Sue and I had to love him and squeeze him:




Did you know?
Rabbits leave their nest when they are only 5 inches or so long. At this stage they will be sniffing and nibbling at the plants around them and carrying their ears erect. They may seem too small and fragile to survive without their mothers – but they are not.

So we took little Peter Cottontail back outside near where he was found. He is staying basically where we left him so we're hoping his Momma comes back soon!

Travel Day -> Hawai'i

The word 'Hawaii' means 'small island' or 'homeland'.

“The Aloha State” became the 50th state in 1959, but the history of Hawaii goes back centuries earlier. Roughly 1,500 years ago, Polynesians from the Marquesas Islands first set foot on Hawaii's Big Island. With only the stars to guide them, they miraculously sailed over 2000 miles in canoes to migrate to the Islands.
In the 20th century, sugar and pineapple plantations fueled Hawaii's economy bringing an influx of Japanese, Chinese, Filipino and Portuguese immigrants. Lanai, under the leadership of James Dole, became known as the “Pineapple Island,” after becoming the world’s leading exporter of pineapple. This mix of immigrant ethnicity is what makes Hawaii’s population so diverse today.

Pearl Harbor, or Pu'uloa, is a lagoon harbor on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, west of Honolulu. Much of the harbor and surrounding lands is a United States Navy deep-water naval base. It is also the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. The attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan on December 7, 1941, brought the United States into World War II.
