{Turkey} Trap

After I did the "elaborate" Leprachaun Trap this year, my husband decided to take over in the trap department.
We wanted to catch Turkey Gobbler for Thanksgiving. So, Noe made this more complex trap.


We tested the trap out on our poor, defenseless Guinea Pig.


It worked! We trapped her in the net.
She was mad so we gave her a bowl of fruits and vegetables, so she would stop grunting at us!

We set the trap back up for the Turkey Gobbler. It's really cold and windy outside, so we put the trap by our living room window.
In the morning, this is what the kids found!
Feathers, Candy Corn and a Note that said "You tried to catch me, but I can't be beat. So I left some candy for you to eat!"
Maelyn asked "How did Turkey Gobbler write?" Noah said "With his beak!" That made sense to her.
Maelyn then asked if the feathers were from the turkey and we told her "yes." So, then she said "Aw...I can't play with them then because bird feathers have germs."

How funny, I used to do a Leprechaun trap each year as the family project for March but I'd never heard of a turkey trap...until now that is! Will probably come by tomorrow and link to this in our Turkey post this week on ABC & 123, if I can remember. It's almost 12:30 AM here and my brain is tired. Email us the link if you get a chance, please☺
