Last week Seth started to prepare our lawn for some fertilizer. He started raking a pile of grass and found some animal hair. He raked it up and then saw something moving deep inside the grass. Upon closer inspection he thought he saw the eye of a raccoon. He thought, "these things can be vicious." He called for me to get the kids in and armed himself with a shovel and a glove. As he pulled the grass back, he was ready to strike and severe the head of whatever ferocious beast lie in wait. To his amazement, it was not an eye, but the ear of an unknown newborn creature. After much deliberation (and a call to the local animal trapper) we discovered the cute little furry animals were in fact five little bunnies just in time for Easter. We have yet to see the mother bunny. Apparently they only visit their babies once a day to feed them and then stay away to lure away predators.

so cute!! Easton wants you to take them into your house...just so you know.
That is hilarious! We have a raccoon that is always trying to come down our chimney so I'm glad they were just rabbits! :)
