Our "Bunny" Garden Gnome

On Monday Kaeden and I were walking home from my mom and dad's when we saw our neighbours (mom/dad and 2 young daughters) staring at the tree in front of our house - I really wasn't sure what they were doing but as we got closer the dad pointed out this little guy - at first I was not sure he was alive, he didn't move a muscle and I was basically standing on top of him to take this picture.

He was gone on Monday morning so we assumed he had found his parents.


On Tuesday night Shelby, Kaeden and I went for a walk to my Mom&Dad's - Kaeden was on his tractor and barreling down the street in front of us and Shelby and I were discussing the bunny and how we hoped he had found his way home...just then I glance down and see the bunny laying half on the grass and half on the sidewalk and once again we didn't see him until we were on top of him(he blends so well) and just as we said Kaeden BE CAREFUL...he ran over the bunny w/his tractor. Of course Shelby and I handle this with great composure - NOT...we are screaming and panicking that we have killed the bunny! When Kaeden hit him (grazed the one side of him but didn't actually fully run over him) he flipped onto his back and then back to his normal position(like he is in the picture) and other than his heart that was beating out of his chest - he didn't move a muscle - he seemed ok, so we kept walking and when I looked back less than a minute later he had left so we are assuming he wasn't hurt...such a strange little thing and now we are obsessed with looking down at the ground when we walk!
