Bug Fest!!

We went to Bug Fest in downtown Raleigh last weekend (Sept. 11th) and this was the first thing Ayden saw and of course wanted to try out! It was called "Beetle Battle!" He met this boy on the left in line and they got along great and so they got to go in there and battle together! Ayden is so tall that he was about the same size as this child (who was 7, almost 8), so they were evenly matched and it turned out to be a draw! :) The battle was tied!
Beetles battling!
Here we are making crayfish homes (shaped like a chimney) or using play dough to create a pretend home like a real crayfish makes in the river.
Ayden took the time to make the "brick layered" chimney home for his crayfish!
We met up with Cousins Sonja, Frank and Annika! It was a fun afternoon!

I don't know who came up with the idea for BugFest but it sounds like a little boy's dream! My brother would have loved that when he was a kid.
