outdoor... bug week

This week we're learning about outdoor life, mostly bugs.  Today the kids and I took a "nature hike" {to the end of our block} to visit the horse and look for some bugs.  The only bug we found was a bee, but we put him in our little bug catcher and watched him under a magnifier.  *It was FREAKY* (according to the kids, of course).  Here's a few shots of our adventures.

In the 'back 40', looking for stuff.

Talking to "Lightening/Sugar".  I'll let you decide who named her what.

"Sugar" decided Lady A needed a kiss in the middle of the pic.  Too funny!

 I think she's a cowgirl at heart.

Bugs hide under rocks, ya know.

At least we have cool equipment.

Since we couldn't find any real bugs, we decided to make our own.

 All the while, Baby B was full of cheese.
