Rodent Adventures!

These little rodents have been causing quite the ruckus in our house during the summer months! This is the first one of the year. Thank goodness Clint was home for this, (because I needed a great laugh!) Just picture the scene from, "The Great Outdoors" and I say no more! I got chased down the hall to the bathroom, and Clint (who is seriously terrified of bats) was cornered in the living room!! Luckily, after about a ten minute ordeal, this one flew out the door.

Hanging from our skylight in the kitchen!

This window was broken by chasing another bat!
Bat #1- Broken window, escaped out the front door, after a two-three hour chase!
Bat #2- Tried to catch for over an hour, finally the following morning, Grandpa Ray came to the rescue and grabbed it with gloves and pliers....I will say no more. R.I.P.
Bat #3- Caught by the cat, I was awakened to screeching from the bat, who finally made it to our bath tub, where he met an unlikely death with a towel and a level!
Bat #4- Luckily escaped, with nothing but a hilarious story to tell about Clint!

This is the best story yet! I am picturing you guys running around the house! HILARIOUS! The movie, Great Outdoors, the bat scene is my fav of the whole movie, when they wear trash cans! Hey tell Clint to get a wicker trash can to use next time!! HAHA Oh yeah and a tennis racket!!
