Bugs !

This weekend our Savannah Children's Museum had a Bug Fest. We really like the Children's Museum anyway, so we went. There were lots of interesting bugs. I didn't  take too many pictures, though. And I, ashamedly, did squeal more than once. =/ The boys really liked examining the different creatures with their magnifying glasses and Jaxter completely impressed the resident entomologist when he told the entomologist all about the tarantula's spinerettes. 

Toads. To illustrate the food chain. 

 

If you look close there are hissing cockroaches and click eye beetle. 

Tarantula. We were not allowed to touch it because this particular species can shoot its hairs at you causing a very itchy reaction. 

I don't remember the name of this particular creature but it was in the Harry Potter movies. 

Desmond eating a chocolate covered cricket! If i can figure out how to upload video I'll do it. 

Even Jaxter partook (after his mom had a teeny tiny taste to prove it was ok).

In other news:

Jaxter and Desmond have moved up in the bike world. Jaxter is pedaling Desmonds bike and, as of yesterday, Desmond is the proud owner of a new-to-him bigger bike. Both are staying close to home perfecting their new skill set but we'll be on the long bike rides again before too long. =)
