This past weekend we took a trip to Rocky Arbor to let Gideon play on the playgrouns there. Before I know it Clint's calling me over to see something on the slide.

Unfortunately, by the time I got there it had hopped off to the ground. I found it and got the camera out and snapped a photo... just as it hopped onto my hand, resulting in this photo, LOL.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d524/d209/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

He sat on Gideon's backpack for a little while and let me take his photo.

Then he came up for a visit. Here he is climbing from my hand to Gideon's.http://media-files.gather.com/images/d536/d209/d745/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

On Gideon's arm.

That is cool that he was checking you out and didn't have any fear. That is aunique experience in itself.
