If you have read our blog before and you remember the "buddy" posts you will probably know what I am talking about. For those who are new at this, I will provide a short explanation. (you can also put buddy in the search box above to see the post)In the past we would go up to Grandma and Grandpa Nylunds cabin. There is a little chipmunk the kids have called buddy and they feed him peanuts. Buddy is so familiar with the peanuts he will come right up your leg and take them out of your hand to eat them.
This year was no different. We started our drive up to Finland on August 10th and planned on staying until August 13th.
Grandma, Mason, Meghan, Landon, Tucker and I were all taking the hike up together.
We made it up and got settled in to find Buddy waiting for his peanuts. The kids and I grabbed some nuts and headed out to feed Buddy. 
At times Buddy will take the nuts to anther location where you can hear him cracking them open. He comes back for more with a mouth stuffed full of the nuts wanting more.
This year Mom was feeding buddy peanuts from in her hand:
Buddy must have thought her finger was his peanut and took a little nibble.
It scared Mom to death and she
tried to pull her hand back and buddy went flying.... 
He is OK. He shook it off pretty quickly. However, all Mom could think about is getting to the hospital to get a rabies shot ..where was the nearest hospital? :)
He is OK. He shook it off pretty quickly. However, all Mom could think about is getting to the hospital to get a rabies shot ..where was the nearest hospital? :)(don't worry- nobody was hurt during this episode)
The conclusion to this story and lesson learned:
Always feed buddy so he is unable to bite your peanut finger!!!
Next time Buddy..........I will be bringing steel gloves to feed you.
