This is VERY funny!I was at the bus stop this a.m. with my older kids(youngers ones were already picked up).My oldest son and I were sitting on the steps chatting when my oldest daughter(she's almost 14 and was standing about 3 feet in front of us)started SCREAMING!!I jumped up and reached for her and she bolted...screaming"Armadillo!Armadillo!"
I start looking everywhere and wow there he is 2 feet in front of me in the flower bed...he was trying to get under our house LOL he was HUGE hahaha
I am laughing,thinking she is insane for being an Armadilaphobic!!My oldest son had found 2 tubs and I was going to trap it to move it away from the house.hahaha yea right!I never new they could move SO fast!LOL We live right in town and across the street from a convenient store so you can imagine the attention we were drawing!LMBO
I was finally able to shoo it away from the house and it heads straight for the road...so here we go running around trying to scare it the other way!FINALLY,animal control officer (a friend of mine from when I worked at the Humane Society) is passing by,sees us and pulls into the next door parking lot and helps me trap it.
I loaded it in my car and took it to the wildlife rescue/release center.

My oldest son had a BLAST!!!I am still laughing about how we must have looked and my armadillaphobic child!!!
Have a great day everyone!!!
