Surprise visit

Well, we had a surprise visitor. Kids were pumped to see their bald old grandpa.

 He brought the same matching wool outfit that he wore with his dad, that my brother wore with him and that Adrian now can wear with him.

 And he brought a heck of a lot of dead animals. My dad is a hunter, trapper and gatherer and mighty crafty with his finds.  I have always said "No mounted animals."  Well, the good news is that none of these are mounted, says he. So he followed my request on that. However...I now have quite the menagerie of hides and such. Couple turkey tails, muskrat, beaver, coyote, raccoon, deer tail, turtle shell, deer skull. Kids are thrilled. I'm not sure what I think. I am pretty sure I am the only one who got dead animals for Christmas.
