Look what I found!

The other week the kids came inside and said that they had found a praying mantis. I was like, sure, of course that's what it is... you know, some little bug that they think looks like a praying mantis...


Nope, the real thing. It looked so cool I just had to take a few pictures :)

The kids had so much fun looking at it. We had to go somewhere and when we got back it was still there. At one point Grant said to Talmage that he wanted to hold it. Next thing Grant knew, it jumped onto Grant's shirt. He then petted it. I guess I should have hung around longer with the camera! It's cool to see God's creations up close and personal. Well, at least the ones that don't bite, sting, or are just plain gross ;).
