Rabbit Trap

Kids come up with the darndest things. LOL! ....

First, let me mention that we are completely surrounded by families with dogs. EVERY house that touches our property has a dog. You would think that other animals would be frightened to even attempt to make it to our yard but unfortunately, this is NOT the case. It turns out to be more of a safe haven if they can make it there alive. (And having a garden- a constant source of free food- like rhubarb plants {dangit all!} & animal-loving children does not help the situation.)

Second, I forgot to mention that bunnies are another sign of Spring in Fargo. 

Well, ever since Brett pointed out that there was a tiny bunny that ran into the garage when he got home one day--- the kids have had plans to catch the stinkin' thing and keep him as a pet. [Did I mention that Brett & I are NOT pet people!?]

When Brett came home today, here's what he found when he walked through the gate:

He wasn't exactly sure of their plans for the bat at the end of the trail? The kids ensured him that it was NOT for the bunny; they were just playing a little baseball while they waited to catch him. LOL! When Brett finally stopped laughing, he did make them clean up the whole bag of carrots. Gotta love their creativity!
