Have you ever been kissed by a hummingbird?

What an amazing summer we have had thus far.  We have been busy living, and loving life.  I need to take a moment to catch up on all that has happened over the last few weeks, but am taking just taking some time to share a special moment from today.  Makayla, Liam, and I were spending some time by the pool with my dear friend Diane when a hummingbird came into view.  We were all so excited when..

...it landed on our fence.

....it perched itself on Makayla's finger.

....it climbed onto her hand.

....it kissed her on the cheek!

.....it frolicked in her hair.

We were saddened when it appeared to fly away...

BUT it returned for more attention...and some apple juice,

We were mesmerized by its beauty, and watched it for over an hour.  Makayla has such a sweet and gentle spirit, and a way with animals.  They are drawn to her, but this was certainly a first!  I know this is an experience that she won't soon forget, and I am thankful that I got to experience it with her!
