RAINY DAY ACTIVITY

During those days when we had non-stop rains, I thought that it would be nice to go out of the house still. So one day, when there were no lightnings and thunder and the rain was just a cheerful shower, the boys and I enjoyed a leisurely walk outside. We didn't bring any umbrellas so it was a very stimulating walk for us and it was wonderful feeling the rain on our faces and skin for a change without any worries that we will be drenched or a bit muddy from our stroll. We ended up looking for different bugs because once Ethan spotted a millipede there was no stopping him from looking for more bugs. He loves bugs. Anyway, we did find some black ants scampering about. Then 2 more millipedes and a lonely butterfly that seemed to enjoy the shower as much as we did. But our biggest find was when we spotted this huge, HAIRY caterpillar in the middle of the road! Ethan shrieked, "CATERPILLAR!!" (which sounded like caderpillar) and I yelled, "Don't touch it!! It's itchy!" I had a terrible experience with a caterpillar once. So anyway, what we did was we picked it up on a stick and then brought it to a nearby plant. Ethan was VERY fascinated because I recently bought him an insect book and there was a hairy caterpillar in it. I suppose he was thinking, "It's so cool!" =D It was such a fun activity maybe we'll do it again soon.
