The Princess decided to camp out on the back porch. it is enclosed with a gate, but not screened in. She went out about 9:00pm. She had her snack, her water and her nature journal. My bedroom is right off the back porch and my window was opened (just in case). She was SOOO brave for 7 years old. For every bit of 17 minutes. The she came in terror showing in her face!

Was she afraid of the mama fox and her 3 little ones that live out back? No of course not. was she afraid of the rattlesnakes of which we've killed too many to count (on the back porch even)? No don't be silly, there is no reason to be afraid of snakes. The cats would kill em. Was she afraid of the lizards? Nope, lizards don't bother people. I know, it was fear of scorpions! "No, silly mama! It was that vicious elderly beagle that lives two streets over and might get out of her fence. And she might squeeze through the rails on the porch and lick me!!!"

Maybe she will try it when she turns 8
