Bugs!

We've had a lot of rain lately, and when it rains, the bugs come out of hiding...so we grabbed our bug catchers and went exploring!

Angie caught a Grasshopper!

Melisa caught a very large Prey Mantis which tried and tried to jump out!

This grasshopper liked watching us as much as we liked watching him!

Eek!  Bugs!

Prey Mantis

What a fun activity!

I Love to Be Beside the Sea

In honor of our vacation to the beaches of California, we painted sea shells!

We collected "baby" shells in a variety of shapes & colors

First, we examined the different shells.  We looked at all of the different shapes & sizes.  The kids chose shells that they'd like to paint.

With a pencil and water colors, they got to work...

Here is Mackenzie's painting

Melisa's

Zoe's painting was of a cave in the ocean and a mermaid, no shells for her!
