Weeee!

CrazyCath: Yes! There are fallen tree stumps and a little water near by…you’re a smarty! Thanks for the bug ID!

Dave: Ha! Who would have thought…you’d dedicate your life to something you once thought boring…maybe there’s hope for my children yet! :)

PJ: I’ll force that tradition! He, he, he. Believe it or not I have threatened my children already that I will brain wash their children into being nature freaks, they’re kids will beg to go for a hike…I LOVE IT!!!! :)

Sherry: Thanks! I don’t know exactly what kind of spider it was? Just as long as it doesn’t crawl on me, we can be friends!

Tom: Wasn’t rock turning fun? Teenagers – punish them with nature! HA!
I love to see all the things people found under their rocks, even Elvis! :)

“Yesterday September 7th was International Rock Flipping Day. Thanks to my friend Dave from Osage+Orange, I found out just in time!” (Does this thing like HTML..??)

Me too… found out just in time that is.

Checking out all the Midwestern participant entries.

Yeah, teenagers are like that. Have/had three of our own.

Sorry for the looong gap between visits. You know how it is…

I have a teenager too and he is a bit older so more tolerant, but I so remember this stage. They hate everything and claim to be bored but ask so many questions and never stop going! Great post. Love the bug – it’s a wood louse, Must be some old damp wood nearby? Tree stump?

I enjoyed it. I was too busy painting for rock flipping today, myself.
