Birds, Bugs, and Sunshine make Spring!

Makenzie had some testing to do with her home school/online school.  They require them to do testing with the school employees at a public place, which is usually a hotel conference center or church.  We were privileged to go out to the Shawnee State Park Lodge for two days of testing.  Well, it was nice for the rest of the kids and I, but probably not so much for Makenzie.  We enjoyed exploring around and hiking. 

I found a really cool bug.... one that I've never seen before.
 

There was this centipede bug that we found outside in our driveway.  
I've never seen it before either. 
Ohio has some interesting critters and creatures that we will miss seeing-- especially the lightning bugs!


And then we had some baby birds that started hopping around the neighborhood.  I'm sure they were literally trying to "leave the nest," but their little wings weren't strong enough to fly more than a few feet.  The kids found them everyday for 3 days.  They were quite friendly and weren't afraid of much.
 

 Ellionna sure enjoyed them....



Except for when they perched on her head.
 

Although Makenzie claims Lilly as her cat, I would have to say that Jordan gives her the most love.  For the most part, she enjoys him just as much. 
 

Oh, he is such an angel when he sleeps.  These outside days are starting to wear him out.  Ha Ha!

That picture of Ellionna with the bird on her head is classic! I love her expression!
