Poor Cara

Poor Cara hasn't found the enjoyment of being able to sleep a few hours during the middle of the mid day.

Bugfest

Where to start with Bugfest? What a day. The girls started the day off making butterflies.

After that they ventured inside and looked at bunch of bugs both alive and not. When they saw a live shrimp (I know not a bug, but it was there) Kendall said they eat different ones at home because she didn't recognize it with it's head on. She had no problem trying the chocolate cover meal worms. Yuck, I choose not to try them.

If you look closely at the middle of this cookie there was bugs cooked in it.

Notice Kendall plows right through it, double yuck. I didn't try them either.

And notice Abbie carefully eats around the bugs. She actually didn't eat the middle of it. Kendall happily picked it up and finished it, really, really, really yuck!

This is Abbie pushing 'bug dung'.

And Kendall playing with the pooh.

The girls put on wings and collected pollen and nectar to feed the flower.

They got to color a few butterfly pictures and make a mask.

This is them putting on the butterfly wings and migrating to Mexico.


The day ended with ice cream, it couldn't get better than that.

4 Leaf Clover

I have searched many a fields for a 4 leaf clover and have never found one. This is Abbie's second one in two weeks. After finding the first one she wanted to put it to the test. She asked Kendall if she could have some of her cereal. When Kendall said "yes" Abbie replied "yes, the lucky clover works".

Durham Bulls Game

We took the girls to their first baseball game. They seemed to enjoy it. They were really looking forward to the fireworks after the game but when the game went into the 11th inning and it was already 11:00pm we said "no way, you will have to see fireworks another time" and headed home.
