Outside Play

We've started taking the kittens outside to play a little bit every day. They LOVE it as does my little girl.

Janeway is following Miss Joanna. When she figured it out, she started looking at the kitten through her legs -- very cute.

This is Archer -- looks like he's a giant cat hunting in the jungle... or maybe not. :)
Joanna has become quite good at handling the kittens carefully. She loves them very much!They still love to snuggle together.

This was a different day. My friend Kathy came over with her two boys and we took the kittens and the kiddos outside.

A nice shot of Troi. I keep forgetting to mention that Troi doesn't have a tail. She's such a cute little bob tailed thing! She's also very adventurous... and sweet.

Dax is also so sweet. She looks the most like her Momma. She has really beautiful eyes!

The boys: I believe Kirk is facing left and Archer is facing right.

Doesn't he just look ferocious?! He was just meowing, but caught with his mouth open, he looks terrifying, don't you think? :)

Josh, my friend's 2 year old, was very sweet with the kittens. He picked up quickly how to hold them. They loved the attention from the kids.

The kittens were pretty indifferent to Kathy's new 2 month old baby. They at most kind of smelled his little toes.

Janeway and Troi getting comfortable on the blanket.

As the big kids wandered off to play, a few of the kittens got curious and started after them.

It's pretty funny because the kids would keep bringing them back to the blanket, as if that's where they should stay.

There was a small, shallow hole in between the blanket and the stump the kids were playing on that caught the kittens every time!

Troi is checking out the fun:

Archer snuggled up to me and fell asleep -- he was so cuddly!

The most adventuresome ones were Kirk and Troi. Janeway joined in the exploration as well, but Archer and Dax enjoyed snuggling up with us on the blanket. We all had so much fun outside!

Putting the kittens back in the basket for the trip indoors:

Take a look at a picture of the kittens in this little bed when they were about 10 days old:
Now a sweet shot from last night:They fill up that bed a lot more now! I haven't seen them sleeping in there since they could really control where they go, but they were all snuggled in there together last night when I checked on them before bed. So sweet!
