Bug Week


That's right...Bug Week.  Bring on the creepy crawlies!

The week started with fun at Horseshoe Lake Park - a great place to look for real and pretend bugs.  Here's our little spider up in her web.


Speaking of spiders...pay special attention to what happens after "down came the rain and washed the spider out."



Cora loves tunnels - see her grin!


"I found a bug!"


"Too!"

Addy and her ant.


We also adventured to the Botanical Gardens...here the girls are taking in some cockroaches.  Ick!


And the best surprise of the week were the baby praying mantises!  Grandma Sherry took Addy to a local nursery that she saw was selling chrysalises for various bugs.  The container came with two, and so we assumed, very wrongly as it turned out, that two baby praying mantises would emerge.  Boy were we surprised!  There must be a hundred!
