On Friday March 20th, our neighborhood is getting together to go snipe hunting in the field south of our home. We will meet at our home at 7:30, hunt for about an hour then return to our home to roast marshmallows,make s'mores, and show off our newly caught friends around the campfire. If you are reading this, please consider yourself personally invited to join us! It is going to be a blast. Bring your flashlights and pillowcases to catch them.
For you novice snipe hunters, here is the low down on snipes:
Snipes are furry little animals that can live just about anywhere. Most of them live in the mountains but we have a different breed that likes the warmer climate so they live down here in the farm fields. Snipes like to eat the veggies that grow in the fields and will also eat the mice. They are friendly but may nip your feet and legs if they are scared. Coyotes like to eat them so if you hear coyotes on our hunt you will know we are getting close. To catch them you look for their eyes- they glow in the dark. Then you quietly bend down and catch them in your pillow case.

ha ha...we used to do this at girls camp every year!!
yes, it is normally a girls camp thing but since I have three boys and we don't have money to go camping, this is a good alternative. Besides, there IS that other breed that lives in the desert that never gets hunted. We should have good luck.
You are such a fun mom! Good luck with the hunt!
That sounds like fun! Wish we could join you!
Did you know that toothpaste on your nose will keep them from biting you? It works all the time! I've never seen anyone get bit who has toothpaste on their nose. :-)
That sounds like fun. I hope it went well!
