Fun in the backyard

One of the things I love about the rain is how green everything becomes. Especially our backyard, it turns from brown dirt to lush green. Wednesday was a nice clear day. I was so excited to get out and enjoy some sunshine! We went down for a walk by the bay to pass time before dance class. On our way back to the car we saw a furry caterpillar and stopped to check it out. We ended up observing this little guy for almost a half hour. It was great! For some odd reason, this caterpillar did not want to leave Caylin alone. Caylin thought it was great! We fed it some leaves and watched him munch, let him crawl over our shoes, and Anika squealed after being a little afraid at first. Caylin was sad when we couldn't bring it home. But what a fun half hour of our day, all because we decided to stop and check out a little caterpillar.

Later that day we went and walked through the tall grass in the backyard, got muddy, and picked a bouquet of leaves for daddy.
