I finally got a picture of a Gecko. It's not really a gecko. I have to find out the real name of it, but we call them gecko's. We normally find them by the rain gutters, and sometimes the aloe plant. They are fast little things, so sometimes it's hard to catch them on camera. I'd like to catch one and observe it for a while. I have to get over my wussyness and catch one and let Peyton handle it. I need to have a jar ready for the next time.
Peyton by another good climbing tree. He played around on this for a while. We saw some ants carrying eggs. No nest around, but something must have disturbed their nest for them to be carrying the eggs. Maybe it got stepped on by a deer or something. We also observed a daddy long leg and a spider web (not related to the daddy long leg) and I showed him what a vine was.
So Katie likes to come with us on our walks. She somehow figures out when we are walking or doing something, and she always comes around us. She walked 1/2 way up our street the other day when we went for a family walk...so we now call her "Catdog" or "Kittydog"...since she follows us around like a dog would. The boys were throwing leaves on her...she takes quite a bit of abuse.
Peyton's drawing....the circle in a circle things are VINES...he has a spider on there...and the scribble in a circle is a spider web...but we destroyed it (or I did)...I was showing them how a spider web was strong. They threw some leaves on it, and I told them the only way to destroy a spider web is to manually do it - so I did it with a stick.
Then he drew an ant - on the bottom right - carrying an egg...and the constant "W" on the top/right is the action of the ants being mad because I died a few of them (killed) with a stick I had...I can't help myself there. I hate fire ants...he also drew a few leaves - kind of looks like an OAK leaf that I was holding trying to figure out what it was.
