While camping last summer in sunshiny Florida, DH, myself and our two girls made a stop at Walmart to get a few things. As we passed the bakery section, the girls wanted to get a bakers dozen of glazed doughnuts. Of course they came back tot the campground with us. The girls were excited for their treat. That night after the girls went to bed, DH and I fired up the 'ole Bunn coffee pot. And what goes better with coffee? Doughnuts. We couldn't help ourselves and I ate 4 and DH ate 3. We did try to save some for the girls...
Now, mind you, we were camping in Florida in a PuP...in August..with no air conditioning. So glazed doughnuts don't store well outside of a cool place. Since we only had two small refrigerators, we put the long box of remaining doughnuts in the cooler we kept outside our door.
Raccoons are quite friendly in this area and don't hesitate to hang around often. The next morning we realized they are smarter little buggers than we thought. They apparently know how to open a cooler. There sat our empty box and it's safe to assume they like grape juice too...
The best part was the girls' reaction to it. After a couple of dropped jaws, their laughter and giggles seeing they lost their morning treat to the raccoons was priceless. It made a great memory for us and we still to this day get a chuckle out of it when we tell the girls...
Mom=4, Dad=3, Raccoons=6, Girls=Zero!
