Squirrels!

The girls and I are on a walk one fine morning. At the first acorn sighting they both get out of the stroller to explore. Not one, or even two, but at least a dozen acorns all around the bottom of - you guessed it - an acorn tree. After each child had five or so nuts in their hands we continued our walk.

Abigail then explained to me her plan...

Abigail: Mom, squirrels eat acorns, and I'm going to feed my nuts to the squirrels when I see them. Then they will say 'thank you' and I'll say 'you're welcome' and they'll give me a big hug!

Later as we walk...

Abigail: Squirrels! Squirrels! I have some nuts for you! Come and get your nuts! They're yummy! Squirrels! Come get some nuts!

We never saw any squirrels and decided we'd take the acorns with us the next time that we go camping, because there are lots of squirrels in the mountains.
