Yesterday was Dad’s last day off work — he was out for two whole weeks! We really enjoyed having him home all the time. To celebrate, we went to two parks! We only really meant to go to one, but the first one (actually a nature preserve) was a bit too wild and we weren’t properly dressed (afraid of those ticks!), so we went instead to the park near us, where we walked 1.4 miles around the lake (no idea if it’s man-made or not). Took lots of pictures — these were at Governor Bebb Preserve

with their walking sticks

Is this a lacewing?

Migi’s Daddy Long Legs

No idea what these are.

Paco’s Toad — right up to the moment he took a pic, we COULDN’T see it!! that is one awesome camouflage.

Some Cute Bud

More next time.
