Father's Day morning-opening presents!
The day before Father's Day we went out to dinner with some friends of ours. As we were pulling out of the drive way we noticed a small bird in the middle of the road that had obviously been hit by a car and struggling to fly. We all felt bad and Dan asked if we should get it. I quickly said NO! So on we went. Less then 15 seconds latter, Dan said, "I have to help that bird, I can't just leave it there, " and quickly turned the car around. (I hate being late!) We made the bird a home and gave it some bird food and water. Yes, we were late for our dinner appointment, but I remained calm and let Dan and the kids do what they thought needed to be done to help the little bird out.
We thought the name Bumper would be appropriate for the little bird. (
HaHa) Even with all of our love and care, Bumper passed away early Monday morning. :( What can I say, Dan has a heart of Gold! He can't stand to see another person or animal in pain. What a neat Father's Day weekend we had, I think even the kids will remember this one!

Wow, what a great story. Bumper.
That was sweet of Dan. Our neighbors found a little baby quail that they tried to save, but it died, too. :(
