Weekend At Nana's. . . .

When the cat's away. . . the lil' kitties come to Nana's house. At least that's what happened around here last weekend.

Dear daughter and her hubby went on a little trip to Seattle for some R&R before the THIRD member of their litter descends upon them with a vengeance this summer. . .

So that meant that ole' 'G-Pa' and I got to watch the little bunchkins while mama and dada were gone. . .

And that of course meant a BIG OLE' TRIP to 'Toys R Us' and some NEW STUFF to play with!

It also meant time for G-Pa to catch a friendly little critter and have the boys feed him some apples before letting him go on his merry way to scavenge at other folks houses. The boys came out early Saturday morning to see what was in the trap. (and YES, Peta folks, it's a HUMANE trap--no one got injured, least of all the surprise guest)



The 'temporary guest' turned out to be 'Mr. Possum':



And the boys were pretty impressed with him:





Oh! And the reason you see Sam with his hand in his pockets, is because after he tried feeding Mr. Possum an apple slice and watching him tear into it with gusto--he decided he'd best keep his hands safely tucked away until Mr. Possum was done and we let him go. . .
