Trap Setting
We are lucky to have kids that like to play together, most of the time. A couple of weeks back, the older 3 decided to set a trap. They found an old crate, some rope, and a good bush to use, and set up a somewhat decent trap. It can be lowered and raised pretty easily.
The kids put some food under the trap, because they hoped to get a squirrel, a rabbit, or a chipmunk. They thought tomatoes and carrots would be appealing to them all.
The problem with the trap is that someone has to do the lowering and the raising. And if someone is out there, then the chance that an animal will stop by is slim. Therefore, the kids disguised themselves.
Zoe changed into all green, in the hopes that the animals could not distinguish her from the shrubs and grass.
Talia opted for a green and brown ensemble, hoping to mix in with the honeysuckle.
Aaron tried -- he really did. He decided that the gray of his shorts and shirt would work well with the dirt. But he forgot about his hair -- and his blindingly pale skin!
It worked better in the honeysuckle.
The trap is still there, on the driveway, and the kids use it at least a couple of times a week. Aaron has even configured the trap so that he can sit on top of it and raise and lower himself. Pretty cool, no?
