Lizards, arachnids and insects

As the kids have gotten older their interest have drawn more towards unique animals. This means lizards and arachnids and such. This also means we have to raise bugs for them to eat and make chow for the bugs to eat! It also means learning how to properly light and heat all these unique creatures.  Not always fun but it is educational and the kids enjoy it all.

The kids got a special treat this year, they were invited to participate in a second VBS, usually they only do one a summer. Tristan is with the 5th and 6th graders, his last year as a participant "kid" and Hayley is volunteering. they both had a great time.
