The last couple of mornings, when Tyler is taking his morning naps, the girls and I go outside and catch potato bugs. It is quite fun. I give the girls cups to put them in. They first get grass in their cups so the potato bugs have something to climb onto and then they start the collecting. We walk up and down the sidewalks and also the driveway. We also venture to the neighbors driveways to get some "good ones." Makena gets so excited when she spots a potato bug and Kali loves to hold the cup with the potato bugs in them. It is a fun time...I sit on the porch and think, "Could this get any better? Spending time with my girls and catching potato bugs." A good time by all.
Makena with her collection of potato bugs.
This was a very big potato bug that Makena wouldn't dare touch. So Makena had Kali go and get him. Kali had no problem going up to the "big potato bug" and catching him.
Their cup of potato bugs. We usually spend about 30-45 minutes outside collecting these little guys and try to get as many as we can.
Once we have enough...Makena sets them free. She turns her cup over and lets them loose.
Then the bugs start crawling (most of them...Kali likes picking them up kind of hard and squishes them) and we see who can make it to the grass the first.
