I guess the squirrel isn't really that smart, because over on the big tree on the left, but not in the picture is a 3/4 full squirrel feeder with all types of goodies they like. Again, this is Dad posting even though it says Mom posted it.
We all remember Ike and the destruction it caused in Galveston and Houston. All of our cousins there were ok, and very little damage (mostly trees and fences) to their homes, but many days without electricity. So, on the Sunday night after Ike we welcomed Aunt Rosario, Robert Owen and Jenna and their children and Ruth and James and their children for a short visit to an air conditioned home. They wanted to give the children a break from all the mess at Houston and so came and spent Sunday night with us and then on Monday they met Aislinn and her children and Tara at the Natural Bridge Safari park near New Braunfels for a good time. We enjoyed having them.

What a cute squirrel! He probably jumped from the tree or maybe he parachuted in. It's a great lesson on greed. When your not grateful for your own seeds and the seeds look plumper on the other side you better be careful not to get yourself stuck high on a wire...hmmm...it's late here...
All the cousins look great! What cute kids! Sounds like a fun time was had by all! I can't believe how old everyone's getting!
I love the picture of the cousins, they're all so cute! And the squirrel, too. I think he was just looking for a bit of a challenge. I was talking to Mom when these pics were taken...yep, I'm cool. I'm so glad y'all have posted, and TWICE in one day. Awesome. Keep up the good work! ;) We love y'all!
Very cute squirrel...I'm impressed that there was actually food in the squirrel feeder! It's a good thing one of your really nice children gave you that squirrel feeder...anyway, cute picture of the cousins too, it was fun to see them at the wildlife park.
I think you should start a squirrel ranch. You could set up a few more feeders and all the squirrels in the neighborhood will flock to your yard. At that point, you can let the grass in the back yard grow except for a walking path that you cut. All you need after that is a minimal admission fee and you can retire. Think of it now, "The Ricker Squirrel Ranch".
Lol That's an awesome idea Marcus! I love it!
So cute. It makes me miss Jenna, and Ruth. I don't know if you realized, but Jenna was my roommate, be for she became Robert Owen's. Well I don't know that you will see this comment, but fun posts anyhow.
