The Smiths:
A chipmunk "eatin' on the Ritz".
While in Colorado, we discovered that the chipmunks liked Chex Mix better than Ritz crackers, they were willing to get a LOT closer for some Chex Mix. These next few photos are of poor quality, but they have to be shown. ;)
This is one of my favorites:
Is this not the cutest thing evah? Okay Pam, I want to know why you hate chipmunks???
One running up Matt's sexy leg (it does have hair on it . . . Matt's leg) ;):
Think I can get some free Chex Mix out of this blog entry???
My cute hubby:
A "chip" tryin' to hit on my cute hubby:
"No, he's mine!"
"NO, he is mine!"
There is just something about Matt (Seriously, I don't think it had anything to do with the Chex Mix) :):
I wonder if all the signs that said, "Please do not feed the animals!" included chipmunks . . . hmmm . . .
Oh my goodness Kristi those are too cute. Great job with those photos. They sure do love Matt. =) Thanks for the smile now I'm off to bed.

LOL! How funny! Shawn says he remembers the chipmunks from his trips to Colorado when he was a kid. He said there were birds (crows I believe) that would swoop down and eat out of their hands too.
I bet Pam has a garden and that's why she hates chipmunks.
Great photos Kristi!!

that is so awesome! We had the same thing happen while visiting the grand canyon, but I only got a picture of one checking out a water bottle...it was way too hot to hang with the chipmunks. I love your pictures.

Cute! I love that one with his little hands reaching for the pretzel. Eeeeeeee!!!

They are cute but they are destructive to gardens and flower beds- that may be why Pam hates them. They are always digging in our mulch but the ones at our house are not quite that friendly- maybe if we fed them they would be.

Yep, what Kendra and Melinda said, they have eaten every bulb in my yard including the tulips I had imported from Holland! They have left holes all over my mulch beds AND they eat all my birdseed! I don't care how cute your photos are it's not gonna make me like them! :)

These are soooo cute!!! Makes me think of Chip and Dale. How adorable that they come and climb all over you and eat out of your hand. Although, come to think of it, it wouldn't be so cute if you were a non-animal lover.
Hope they spoilt you on your birthday!

Have you seen Failure to Launch when the cute little chipmunk latches on Matthew McConaughey's finger? I was waiting for something like that to happen to your Matt. :)

They are too sweet but I can imagine that when they eat away your expensive tulip bulbs, you don't care for them anymore. I have tulips in my garden (they are not expensive here, but then again I'm from Holland :D ) and lucky me we don't have chipmunks over here!
Great photos BTW!

For the most part I enjoy living in NW Kansas. It's completely different than the Wichita/Winfield area though. We are dry, hot, windy and the land is flat.
Yes I'm bored today and just browsing through different blogs on my list. :)

Those chipmunks are so stinkin' cute!!!
Posted by: klutzymama | August 04, 2008 at 08:02 PM
Gosh -- these photos are amazing! I have to agree with Carrie. They are so stinkin' cute! Thanks much for visiting my blog. You mentioned something about wanting to know what camera equipment I use. A complete list of my cameras and lenses are shown on the left side of my blog. Anyway, I'll return often to visit. Love your photos!

Wow, those are some seriously cool pictures!!! My kids would have been in chipmonk heaven! So cool Kristi.

Amazing photos!
But add me to the chipmunk haters group...they have RUINED my garden and are also causing major damage to a very big and very expensive to fix rock wall that we have. ARGH!
Posted by: Debbie | August 07, 2008 at 11:34 PM
Those chipmunks look like they might throw down over those chex....i mean over MATT! All subjects are adorable. human and rodent.
Posted by: polly | August 16, 2008 at 08:57 PM
Oh my goodness, those are too cute for words. I especially LOVE the one reaching for the Chex Mix. You should contact the company and see if they want it for a print ad LOL.
