Baby Squirrels

Jim rides the trolley when he goes to work at the ballpark. He also drives by the trolley station when he meets his team members at the bowling alley.
He and other ballpark workers have noticed that the area around the trolley station is nothing but dry dirt with a few large bushes.
They discovered a family of squirrels that live in those bushes. So they have been taking food for them.
When ever I cut up vegetables or fruits we save the trimmings or cores and Jim takes them with him when he goes to bowl or to catch the trolley for work.

So yesterday while Lisa had Kyle at the beach Conner and I drove over to watch him feed the squirrels on his way to bowling.
He dumps the goodies next to the big bush. This time there was a box of stale crackers that I discovered in the pantry to go along with the vegetable trimmings.
We then sat in the car and watched.
Within seconds four baby squirrels and a larger one came in & out of the bush and began munching away!
So now we are the care takers of a bunch of spoiled squirrels and all the extra food trimmings will not go to waste!
