Bugs

Spring...or summer is here. Today it was in the high 80's and so beautiful outside. After Evan's nap, I sent the kids outside for some fresh air. Makayla discovered that the grass was full of ladybugs. She slowly creep around and then would quickly clapped her hands together. After several attempts, she excitedly she ran into the house to show me her prize. Ever so carefully she opened her hands so I could peek inside. Then it was back outside to set "her" ladybug free. It was so cute watching Evan follow behind, trying to be so quite and still. It was a perfect moment, watching them discover these bugs together, seeing Evan's face light up when he discovered they could fly, and feeling the excitement that only childhood can brings to such a simple thing.
