Bug Catchers

The kids caught a lady bug 

They put a few leaves in with the lady bug 

They loved watching it crawl around and open it's wings. 

The next day they put water in with the lady bug 

and the third day they released the lady bug!

Mommy and kiddos-our first day was a little rough, it is funny to see it in their faces on the pictures.  By the second day we all did much better and had more fun!
