At our family reunion the kids fashioned a squirrel trap using a tupperware, stick, caution tape, and trail mix. As it happens that is the perfect formula for squirrel catching. They caught a total of 13 squirrels and prairie dogs! It entertained them for hours and hours. They would wait so patiently and scream when they caught one. The minute they lifted the tupperware the squirrel would escape and they would all scream in terror. It was all quite entertaining.
The trap is set
We caught one!
The old slide of the cardboard trick
Uhh, what do we do now?
And he escaped. Can you spot him on the edge of the stairs?
One of the attempts.
The Uncles had just as much fun as the kids. And this time they found a more sophisticated trap.
The unsuspecting prairie dog.
The kids waiting ever so patiently.
Wait for it... wait for it... wait for it... seriously. You have to wait a long time to catch one.
We all stared at him for a little while and then let him free.

I love in the first video when one of the kids yells "Aww he got away--that little STINKER!!" Was it Jaxson? :)
the kids were so into it! That was Tyson, one of Jill's twins that said that. He's so funny.
