The rain stopped, the clouds broke, and we were enjoying a quiet evening on the deck when Landon detected an amphibious invasion underway.

Landon warns us constantly that we can never let our guard down. Squirrels might scramble across the yard. Birds might squawk. The automatic irrigation system might turn on at the worst possible moment (yeah, that’s happened). But now he has detected an amphibious invasion is underway.

Hu-Dad explained what the creatures were and that they didn’t represent a real threat, but Landon wasn’t so sure. He watched the threat carefully as they paddled past.
