Bug Fest

Southeastway Park advertised a Bug Fest event that took place today.  We'd never been before but given Ryker's obsession with all things bug-related, we thought we'd check it out.  We came home after church and lounged a bit before taking early naps.  As soon as the boys were up we were out the door.  Parking was pretty scarce when we arrived, but it looked like it was thinning out.  Sure enough, before long, the crowds had diminished and we had a blast.  They have several different booths set up.  Each one details information on different bugs.  They have a butterfly tent, a beekeeper, an entomologist there to answer questions, and much more.  The boys had a great time!


Checking out the butterflies.  They had cut pieces of fruit to attract them.  It was cool to see what they were drawn too.
Digging for worms!

Daddy helped them catch some creatures in the pond.  Some other kids found tiny frogs and crawdads and we were able to check them out too. 
 
We ended to evening at Mama Nita's for some pizza and ice cream.  Such a fun family day!
