I spent part of Labor Day weekend with my family up Deep Creek, in Morgan. Austin and my dad are obsessed with cutting firewood so naturally they took advantage of being in the mountains for the day and decided to cut a load of wood. Turns out Austin cut down a tree with a real live bat in it. Needless to say I was more scared of the bat than any of my nieces and nephews. They all wanted to touch it and make friends with it and I just wanted him to keep it the heck away from me. I did learn though from the Batman survivalist, Austin, that a bat cannot fly if you let it go on the ground. They are unable to flap their wings to take flight, so when you let them go you have to throw them into the air. That's what he did and it flew off and hung itself upside down in another tree. We didn't cut that one down. Although there were times during the discovery I was screaming like a girl, I was brave enough to get a few pictures. But, when I was posting the pictures on my blog I was still getting me shivers down my spine....(cringe)!
