We spent this last weekend at Texas’ Godfather’s ranch…1,000 acres, UV rays in the 8,942 range, bugs the size of Utah….a free-for-all of Cheetos eating and orange fingerprints everywhere. You can imagine a fun time was had by all. During this visit Texas introduced himself to his first live june bug – this introduction went kind of like this…

Bug -bug- bug-bug-bug- (bending down now and talking louder) – HEY BUG – HEY BUG – bug-bug-bug….

After a solid 15 minutes of this – four adults were also crowded around what must have now been a deaf june bug staring at it – touching it- talking to it…….this is the joy of spending time with a toddler – if someone would have told me three years ago that I would be passing my Saturday afternoons examining (let alone touching) june bugs and having the time of my life I would have laughed in their face……but alas…..
