National Mall Squirrel and Memorials

We began our day by stopping by a little food hut to buy a snack.  The boys got hot dogs and chips and I got a muffin.  Then, we ran into a little tiny thief who wanted our food.


This squirrel was super fat, and it wanted us to feed it.


After this video, the squirrel hopped on top of our table and grabbed our food tray.  I grabbed the other side of the food tray and played a little game of tug-of-war over our food, while saying "shoo, shoo."  It was very comical, but I was too busy defending my muffin to take a video of the whole thing.

Once we were done, we walked away and another woman took our table.  From a distance, we saw her drop her food off at the table, and then walk away to get napkins or something.  Then the squirrel stole her food.  Of course.

Bellies full, we headed to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
