Bugs!

I know you LOVE these posts from me, and be warned there is a spider picture at the bottom of this one.

This summer (winter for those in the States) we had many creatures around that were pretty amazing. The first being this locust. I wish I could have gotten it in flight, because it's wings had blue, purple and green colors in it!

The next thing we've discovered in our yard are snails....that are pretty big!

Here's Spencer's foot next to it. He wears a size 1 shoe in boys. I would say the snail is big.

And lastly we've had some exceptionally large spiders hanging around our back half of the house. We don't use it often, so that is why they are there, plus there are boxes to hide in. Bridget killed this one, and I just took the pictures. Neither one of us like spiders so when we see them during the day we often give a little yelp.

Close up of the spider. Gross, right?

Now I'm all caught up and will be giving you updates of what we have been up to recently.
