Catching Bugs in the Magic Forest

Yesterday we received a fabulous b-day gift for A&H from our friends Sally and Luke. We got a whole supply of BUG CATCHING tools! A net, magnifying glasses, two cages, and more! The kids were insistent on taking a bug catching hike today!

We are lucky to live right near a wooded trail that runs through our neighborhood. We always hike this trail once or twice a week, and we have nicknamed it the Magic Forest. So, today we set off in the Magic Forest in search of critters. We had good success and managed to fill our new bug homes with lots of ants! Yea! (Mommy says they have to stay outside on the deck though...)

Thanks Sally and Luke for our good gifts! The kids love hiking and when we finished today, both Andrew and Hailey said, "This is the best hike we have EVER taken!"
