ladybug release...

Photobucket

Last night, our community association released 30,000 ladybugs into the neighborhood gardens. We walked over for the event:

The girls lucked out and got to hold one of the bags of ladybugs. Each bag contained 1,000 ladybugs. The foof was not impressed. She informed us that she only likes to look at ladybugs. Definitely not interested in having hundreds of bugs crawling all over her! BJ took the foof and the bub home to put them to bed and the older girls and I stayed at the gardens while the girls played "ladybug fairies," happily spreading ladybug magic on all the plants.

What a cool thing to do! I love the pictures. Well, of course I do, I love all your pictures. :) But there is something magical about ladybugs and little girls.

Mindy, I just don't have it in my head that you actually live in Utah! Just up the road from me! We will have to work on getting ourselves together...I am really terrible at that kind of thing. But I hope you are happy here! :)
