Bug fest
The Virginia Tech Entomology Department put on a great activity called bug fest. Grandma Clinger, the girls, Marcus and I had lots of fun learning all about different bugs. The girls were even brave enough to hold a cockroach and millipede. They had all sorts of bugs on display, along with games to learn about them and tons of fun crafts for the girls. We learned about bed bugs, ticks, bees, cockroaches and butterflies to name a few.
Enjoying bug fest!

The Pumpkin Patch
There are so many fun things to do on the weekend that we had to fit in one more while we were out. We headed to the pumpkin patch where the girls and I took a hayride out to the patch to pick a pumpkin. The girls had fun on the giant bales of hay that were near the patch while I enjoyed the beautiful view. Marcus had fallen asleep on the way so Grandma stayed with him in the car. After we had all the fun we could handle the girls and I headed back to the car were we tried to start the car but it wouldn't start. If you know the what Virginia is like around here you know that everything is one a hill. The parking lot of the pumpkin patch was no different and we had parked sideways on a very steep hill. We were so lopsided that it made the car think we were out of gas. We were running a little low but not completely out. Luckily we were parked in the right direction and no cars were in front of us so Grandma got out and pushed while I put it in neutral and pushed from the drivers side. We coasted down the steep hill to the main road where the car started right up and we were on out way. We did stop at the nearest gas station and filled up the car just in case we wouldn't make it home from out in the country.
