Niagara Fauna Research Crew Update

We all just came back from a hectic Niagara- Buffalo trip. For all those who are wondering what there is to see at Niagara, I would like to enlighten you that the fauna there is quite abundant. In fact, the smallest member of our crew, aged 1 year, did not waste time looking at some water pouring down a cliff - instead she studied with avid interest an "Annnniiillll's" activities read Squirrel's activities. She also saw 3 pairs of Chikidoos & Chikadees playing happily without a "Miaow" to disturb. (Please refer to previous blog on "BestSeller in Bratsdom" for more on Chikidoo & Chikadee)

Peechu Update:

No trip is complete without all the details. Here is an important update of an important activity in the life of the youngest member of the Niagara Fauna Research Crew. She went Peechas in all important landmarks:

(1) Las Vegas airport during our change of flight
(2) Maid of the mist boat tour at Niagara falls
(3) BART train on the way back from Niagara. Thaatha alias Grandpa displayed an agility belying his true age, as he admirably saved co-passengers from the terrific smell. He darted out of the train, trashed the diaper, and charged back in - Bravo Thaatha!
Reports have it that the station was closed to traffic for the next 1 hour before the source was isolated!!!!

So, that summarizes our Niagara trip. We saw several squirrels and some birds at Niagara Falls. Most importantly, we forged a long-lasting relationship with the squirrel there. The "Annil" hops on a flight several times a day to play "Ring-a-ring-a-roses" before every naptime and meal time with lil Kittens.

PS: We caught Fall colours at its peak, and gulped in the scenery, though the incessant rain did not allow us to take any photographs!

Your peechaas/peechoos regstrd owner is just too delectable to be not thinking about the whole day !

As to "Anniiillsss"-- the number of times we extracted it out of her is just too much.

Well-her dogmatic determination to say it yet another time w/t any "salippu" should be appreciated--What u say Mommy?
