Reese's Very Slow Pets

 

One of Reese's hundred pet snails

Now you are positive I only write about bugs. But, this is actually, as said in the caption, one of Reese's millions of snails that she catches in our backyard. Quick espanol update- caracol is Spanish for snail and babas is slime. Reese is determined to name all of her newly found pets. Good luck with that Reese!

See you soon,

Ant popcorn...ewwww!!!

Me stirring the still wiggling ants!

Imagine, it's five in the morning. The sun isn't up, but you are. One decent sized ant flies into a light trap. Then another, then another. Do you see it? If your afraid of ants you probably have closed this article by now. This was my dad's experience with our new treat - ants. But, that wasn't the even the best part! If you had a smell-avision I'd show you, but you wouldn't thank me. The revolting smell drove me all the way to the classroom in the back of our house. For the few seconds I spared during my evacuation I faced the pleasant picture of squirming bugs. But, I tend to over exaggerate just a little bit. It probably didn't taste too bad. Just a normal day in the jungles of Ecuador! 

Thank you for reading,

An amazing new pool location for us to hang out.

we escape to the pool!

The Vacation in Otavalo

We are in Otavalo riding horses my horses name was Black. On the way my horse got hurt but it was just a rock. My horse would get angry if the other horses would get out of line. My mom's horse wanted to go back where we started but he didn't know that was the long way back.When I galloped it felt like my insides turned into my outsides. My horse would grab a snack on the way. We hiked all over the place like through a eucalyptus forest. The horses didn't like the eucalyptus no one knew why. Maybe it was the smell.
