This is the entrance to our next adventure--As an interior designer, this space from the beginning to end is a wonderful experience. The kids had a blast and found all of the BUGS very interesting--even my hubby and I learned a lot from all of the BUGS!
Jackson watching the Leafcutter ants hard at work--very cool exhibit! It is like a giant ant farm, showing the ants from cutting the leaves to bringing the leaves up a tree and into their mumble abode!!! (Oh-check out the wet shirt! Another southern shower released itself as we were walking the two blocks from Landry's to the Insectarium!
I know this pic is sideways--but Jackson and Rayburn were "learning" about a type of caterpillar that is native to our area and turns into this really ugly moth! I Love it--they are actually paying attention to something other than that purple dinosaur or that "cheeky" little blue engine!
The picture of the butterfly is from the Butterfly Garden--you first have to go through this really bizarre air chamber to make sure that the butterflies do not escape. Then once inside it is wonderful, a little warm and humid (hmmm..sounds familiar, something we in the south should all be to familiar with!) The butterflies are flying everywhere--One thing I did learn in the butterfly garden that I did not know--butterflies can be aggressive! A little in front of us was "attacked" by a bright blue butterfly--who would of thought it!!!! Well, all in all our trip to the "big city" for the today was wonderful, a little wet--but fun!!!!

SATURDAY AT NANA'S!
What a wonderful day--we had so much fun
at Nana's house last Saturday. Everyone came over
to play in the kiddie pool and cool off from the
heat! Everyone except one person--Brittany who was
not available to attend this casual family gathering b/c
she is living the life in the
BAHAMAS

That is who I want to be in my next life!!!!!!
Anyway, we still love her and hope she
is having a wonderful time!

Sweet little Reese just hanging outDAY AT THE TRAILHEAD!
What a great day--We spent the entire morning at the fountains. How come we did not have these when were kids? Go figure--I guess at least they have them now!!!!! Rayburn, my waterbug, took off into the water as soon as I put the last rub of sunblock on him--Jackson took a little bit longer to bail! They ran and ran and ran all morning with a few little "cook, cook" breaks.
Well I am going to try post a least every other day or so!
