We were pretty sure it wouldn't stick and as the day warmed up - it didn't. The boys came home with the Man-Cub and played outside. They trapped one gopher in the 'Hav-a-Heart' trap and we relocated him - they played some more and we set up the church for a funeral today - and they trapped another gopher - so we had to relocate her too - I should have gotten pictures of the process and I will next time. We use a carrot for bait and they seem to like that pretty well. Gophers are treated pretty cruelly up here - these are the little striped gophers and they are really cute...
The boys set up cots in the living room and stayed up a little past midnight...
We made traditional Rice Crispy Bar Treats (vegan of course) for a bedtime snack...
...they turned out pretty well - the vegan marshmallows don't melt very easily - but we managed - my failed marshmallow making attempt actually produced a better product for the crispy bars - but that was an awful lot of trouble...
Then we woke up to a ground covered with snow this morning. The boys can't wait to bundle up and play in the snow 'one more time'...
...it seems like the deer were a little surprised by the snow as well...
Maybe this will be your last snow of the season, but it came in handy for the boys to have fun there. Still looks pretty. E
