A hunting we will go...

We found an ugly bug on our porch yesterday...which Rylie was so intrigued by. So, today we decided to go out and hunt for bugs, in hopes to take one home in our "bug drum." Out the door we went, a hunting we will go. It took a while (which seems funny because they seem to be easily found when you do NOT want to find them!) Lo and behold, after looking in and out of bushes and up and down the grass, we found Ruby the ladybug. She is now Rylie's first pet!





After we "rescued Ruby" from her tree and brought her into Rylie's "bug drum," Rylie took Ruby for a walk in her shopping cart. She is a little rough on Ruby...pounding on the drum (hence the name of the aquarium we made), and turing it upside down, etc. By the end of our walk, she was a bit through with Ruby...leaving her on the side of the road. (I hope this is not any indication of what Rylie will be like when we take her baby sister home in February!) We did get Ruby back to our home...and perhaps tomorrow there will be a new interest in her.
