Bugs Bugs Bugs

This past weekend my girlfriend from high school (Rachael Lawson) came to visit us!
She brought her beagle puppy, Guinness, and Taylen just ate it up.
It was so good to have her with us for a couple days. Thanks for coming, Smach!!
On Saturday we went to a Bug Emporium in Rocklin. They had all kinds of exhibits where you could pet different bugs (note: stick bugs are aggressive and one climbed out of the bowl trying to grab Taylen's finger! I don't think she'll be petting bugs again any time soon), look at bugs through microscopes, look at birds, fish, amphibians and lots more. Our neighbor Kristin came for a bit, and we kept her daughter Millie with us to play with Tay. It was really, ridiculously crowded, but the girls had lots of fun!
Looking at baby mosquitos with a magnifying glass. Those
things are even nastier up close!

Painting with live maggots. That's right. You dip em in the paint and then let them roll around on the paper. Nice idea in theory, but the paint weighed them down and they mostly just laid there.

Taylen and Millie. Cute :)

Okay...that maggot thing is gross, who comes up with that stuff? She is such a funny girl...I can't get enough of your posts...they crack me up! I love that picture of her cross eyed with food on her face...I don't even think tanner knows how to go cross eyed!
