Flock of Flamingos

No, we didn't jump on a plane and head to Florida.  We had a flock of flamingos in our very own front yard.

When Jessica and Elessia came back from the movie, they asked us why we had flamingos in our yard.  We didn't know we did, but there they were----

One of them had this note around it's neck--

 In case it is still too small to be read, I will review the highlights--  This was fund raiser for one of the girls in our neighborhood who is raising money for a Girl Scout trip to Washington, DC.  You get "flocked" because someone has made a donation (aren't friends wonderful?) and asked that they be delivered to your house.
"Your dear friend paid us to place these pink darlings in your yard! (Sweet!!)
BUT-
"Lucky for you, there is a professional flock removal crew in the area to take care of your infestation!
For a suggested donation, they will come and remove the flock from your lawn ASAP:
Flock Removal  $10
Relocation to a (victim) yard of your choice $5
Insurance against (retaliation) another flock attack $5
Identity of the "friend" who requested your clock attack $5
Staying anonymous to your (victim) friend $5

If you choose to do nothing, the flock flies away after 48 hours.

We immediately agreed to make a donation for all of the above services, but asked that they not be picked up until the morning as I wanted a picture for the blog.  So this is what a flamingo infestation looks like.

We had gone outside to take pictures in the morning (in our bare feet) and Gary noticed my footprint next to Liam's so he added his and then asked us to come and see our "art" work.  Gary knows me so well and how I love little things like this.

Now I had seen flamingos in the yard down the street that morning as I left for work, but had no idea what they were for and why they were at the Scovil's yard.  After the flock arrived at our house, Gary mentioned that in the late afternoon, he had seen them at Kevin and Jolie Watson's house, so we are pretty sure they sent them to our house.

No worries--they are not longer at our house, but made a trip to the beautiful yard of our friends--who will be nameless, because we paid to be anonymous!!!

I loved this.  It made me laugh so hard and it was so fun to talk about who we wanted to send the flock to.  The flock will be traveling around the neighborhood until June 2 when it heads back to Florida.

People are so clever...................................hopefully everyone else is enjoying it as well.  Something to bring the neighborhood together and have some fun.
