Last week I was in Wichita with my entire family, and we used the opportunity to celebrate my amazing step dad's squirrel victories. Squirrels had become a problem in their backyard, and he took it upon himself to begin trapping and rehoming the squirrels. He marks down on a calendar every time he catches one, and his count last week was at 333. It's become a bit of a thing in the family, which will be extremely evident in the following pictures.
My sister's and I hatched the Squirrel Party concept a while back, and this felt like the perfect time to execute it! They made the shirt that we had him don as we were finishing up the surprise. He added the squirrel to his shoulder that had been gifted to him for Father's Day.
There was bunting and a giant squirrel balloon that was popped during its inflation. I tried to make a squirrelly menu that included lots of nuts, kabobs, squirrel cookies and acorn desserts. His Squirrel Whisperer mug also made an appearance.
A couple weeks back, I found this squirrel costume on Amazon, and my brother agreed to wear it. He went all in on being a squirrel, much to everyone's delight.
We certainly love our step-dad and his relationship with squirrels. Plus, we will take any excuse to plan a party, and having a squirrel costume on hand has already come in handy. The laughter was worth it all. 🤣🐿😂
