Fox tale

Last night, as we were eating our grilled hamburgers at the picnic table, the mother fox decided to visit our campsite. She acted like she was begging for some of our meat. She circled the site and would dart in and then back off as we talked or yelled at her. In the mean time, unknown to us, one of her kits snuck under the RV and grabbed one of my hiking boots that was by the RV drying out. If it hadn't been for the people on the road watching the kits playing we would never have know what happened to my boot! The baby fox ran back to its play area behind the RV and dropped the shoe on the top of the hill. Luckily I was able to retrieve it as the kit watched me with a disappointed look on its face. I had taken its new toy!
