day 181 - long legs

It's pretty easy to see where these guys get at least a part of their names, Daddy long legs, from ;) They are also known as harvestmen and while they are arachnids they are not spiders. The strangest thing is, as a child while I was terrified of spiders, I never had a problem w/ daddy long legs even before I knew they were not spiders.

day 178 - sunset

We had the opportunity to go out with some friends on their boat. We were still out on the water as the sun was setting. I was taking sunset pictures and playing with different settings on my camera. I can never seem to get the color just right on sunsets.

day 176 - walk

The boys walking ahead of us on another nature walk.

day 174 - hanging basket

We went to the village for storytime and they have these incredible flower baskets every year.

day 171 - Weevil

The kids & I went on a walk & I spotted this weevil (at least that's what I think it is) on a milkweed plant.

My son, child #2, trying some to hit the baseball at his cousins birthday party.

My daughter has no problem playing in the mud with her brothers. She put mud all up & down her arms and allowed her brother to smear mud on her face! Mud facial anyone?
