Daddy v Bunny - Part II of II

So the bunny came back the very next day.
Magic bunny, you're mine.
I spent all last night trying to figure out how you escaped the trap and where you had hidden while I celebrated your apparent capture.


Sunshine and Monkey were on the back step having a little chat after dinner when she told me to come quickly and bring the container. The bunny was now in our yard flaunting his independence. He was on the north side, so he could get trapped if the area by the gate was secured. I took the back yard and Sunshine monitored the gate. The dance this time was much shorter, however this time the capture was confirmed by Sunshine, who did an excellent job of ensuring that he didn't escape.


We loaded the kids back into the car (though we may need to explain to the boys what deja vu is) and headed out to the spot in the woods. There was enough kicking and movement in the container the reassure us that either the bunny was indeed trapped or he was really, really good at this game.


The trap was brought out of the trunk, complete with the hunter pose for the camera, and it was placed on the ground. Again on the count of 3 (and this time with feeling) the lid was lifted and....off he went. He scurried off , in the direction of our house, and hopefully found himself a new home. Good luck little bunny and good riddance.


Official score: bunny 1, daddy 1.


(let there be no tie breaker)
