Can you see the little squirrel in the black bag? He is by the upper right hand corner fo the bag.
Here he is again with the stolen sandwich!Happy Photo Story Friday! This is my second week of participating, and I have been saving this story for a full week!
*
Last week we went swimming with some friends. We brought lunch because swimming is exercise and tired, hungry kids are whiney.
*
We ate early. I don't think it was even 11:00. Apparently people are in the habit of claiming their tables by leaving their bags on these tables and then heading off to play at the playscapes. Our kids were hungry so we just sat down to eat. That is when the show began...
*
There are squirrels here - LOTS of squirrels. Living at this popular park results in squirrels who are not afraid of humans or their belongings.
*
I don't remember who saw the little guy first, but before long, we were all watching this smart little squirrel go from bag to bag looking for a way into each one. (I have a feeling he had done this a time or two...) Finally, he found a winner with the big black bag.
*
When he found a way in, he went right to work. He found a sandwich and started chewing it. At this point, one person in our party tried to shoo the little squirrel away.

It was not to be, however. He would not be denied after seeing what treasures the black bag contained.
*
After the shooing, our party member returned to our table. Keeping an eye on him all the while, the smart little squirrel rushed the black bag. He was in and out with the bagged sandwich before you could say "Hey! That squirrel is stealing your lunch!"
*
At this point we didn't figure the sandwich owner would want the sandwich back anyway, so we just applauded the little squirrel's persistance.
*
I'm guessing this squirrel does not go hungry very often!

Happy PSF!
What a brave little guy. That is too cute!
That is FUNNY!!! LOL!!! :o)
That's so funny. He apparently knows how to take advantage of silly humans who leave their food out. Funny that we both posted about squirrels. :D
So cute that you were able to get him in action. Those squirrels are quite the little characters. My sister has a problem with squirrels being too confident and trying to occupy her garage as she is in it working on furniture and cabinets! I actually read this last night when I was at work but wasn't able to comment then!
What a fun story, and great that you have the pictures to go with it.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
That is hilarious! And, what great pictures!
How funny! what a little attitude on that squirrel!
Those pesky squirrels! They are very resourceful. (Reminds me of my "We Were Robbed" story I posted last Friday on PSF.) Too funny you got those pictures. :)
Little critter is spunky!!!! What a great capture!
Around here we get seagulls stealing our food. I don't thing the squirrels have ever gotten that brassy!
