Stop!!!!!!!

As we were driving down a dirt road in the country, Susan suddenly yelled, "Stop!!! There is an echidna!" I know, I know, you're thinking: "What's an echidna?" An echidna is a small animal that is similar to a hedgehog. It is one of the animals that the kids and Susan wanted to see while we were in Australia. Before I knew it, Susan and Tyler (and then Amy) leaped out of the car, jumped a fence (in a single bound!), and sprinted through a cow pie-infested field toward the echidna. Before long, Susan picked up the echidna (with the help of Tyler's sweatshirt) and was posing for a picture. Aussies tell us that echidnas are rare, and this is the first one that we have seen. I hope you enjoy his picture.
