Forgotten Guest

Mommy can't believe that she forgot to mention the unwelcome guest in our cabin. There were lofts on either side of the cabin. Mommy was lucky to lay under the overhang that was infested with critters. The first night there, she hear this scurrying back and forth a couple feet above her head. So she switched sides of the bed with Daddy.. (She didn't tell him that was why... ;o) I slept at the head of the bed.. Well techinally I was supposed to, but I managed to stay between Mom and Dad the whole trip! Lucky us all on the double mattress. Mommy checked the cabin corner the next day, and there was a hole there that something could get in... Oh dear. The scurrying continued, but seemed to die off in the day. All 14 of us probably scared it off. On the third day there, Mommy was trying to have a nap with Noelsters. She had a blanket over her head to ward off any mosquitoes that thought her blood tasted good. By now there was a sheet on Noel's playpen too. The scurrying started up b/c all of us were down at the Lake. Mom thought it sounded awfully close so she bolted up and a gray ball of fur ran across her bed under the bunk. Ehhhhh!! That was no mouse!! That looked like a rat!! So after frantically pushing a broom under the bunk beds the rodent was no where to be found. By then Mommy thought she was going to lose her breakfast, so she got ready to join us at the Lake. She was worried the 'rat' would jump in Noel's crib. (They can do that you know) While Mommy was running around, she looked up at the rafters and low and behold, there were two SQUIRRELS squeaking down at her in terror. Ahhhhhh at least it was no rat! Opa filled the holes good and proper with a whole can of insulation foam!! Hopefully the next visitors won't encounter any 'rats'.
Side note.. When we were leaving, Daddy was whispering to Oma. The mice had helped themselves to the fluff in the mattress that we were sleeping on. It had a big chewed up hole...
