Show and Tell Friday: Field Trip!

Posted in Family

Last Friday we went on a little "field" trip with some friends to some property they own outside the city about 1/2 hour away. I thought I'd share some of the sights we saw on the drive up.

Our kids and all the other kids who came along had a blast running around, playing catch or volleyball and climbing on the truck. :)

Heidi enjoyed it but only if I didn't leave her side.

At one point Liam found a nest of biting ants that started crawling up his socks and into his pants. Thankfully we were able to get things off in time before he got too many bites. As I was picking ants off his pants he said to me "Be CAREFUL! Those things BITE!"

And look at these amazing flowers I found out in the fields! Many of these I've never seen before and so tiny! Sadly they didn't last being so fragile, hence the picture.

Check out more Show and Tell Friday posts by going to

Those fire ants are the worst. I am glad you were able to get them off. Very lovely flowers.
Blessings,

Those pictures are beautiful. I loved the flowers. It looks like you had a wonderful day, except for the ants. We had an experience with fire ants similar to that. When my son was about 18 months, he slid off a slide in the park into a nest of them. We didn't know it at first until he started crying. Ugh!
