Gotcha!

The weather was spectacular this weekend as was the company. I was spoiled by having my sister come down for two days to hang out with us and check out our new digs. Due to the warm, beautiful sunshine, we spent most of the weekend outside playing and there was a lot of life coming out in full force. You could see little flowers starting to poke their little buds out of the winter sore ground, grass was being raked and given a good breathing, bees and butterflies were out in full force. The bees especially were attracted to Masyn's shirt. Her shirt has small little embroidered flowers on it and they just would not leave her alone. At one point, I actually picked her up and a bee chased us around the yard for a full two minutes trying in vain to get at one of her flowers. It was creepy really.

And for Kaelen, all of this activity gave him a perfect excuse to try out his new butterfly net in hopes of catching some form of life to live in his new bug house. Somehow, I don't think that this particular species is indigenous to the Cranbrook area:

One day Masyn will kill me for her not looking perfect in this picture, but I just had to post it so you could see what the bees were after: all of those little flowers on her shirt.
