Too much fun

 Did I mention how much the kids enjoyed plying with Aunt Miranda's kids? It was a bit different for my girls, since we are not into much physical wrestling sorts of things.  It was (mostly) enjoyed.

The boys were thrilled to have someone to jump on.

And the girls apparently didn't mind the smooshing. 

Callie and Marian also spent an entire afternoon catching pets. 

They caught a few cicadas and tied threads to them. 

I was impressed with their dedication and concentration. 

Marian and her new guy. 

Taking him out for a spin. (The other end of the thread is tied to that stick.) 

Apparently is started off well.... 

But didn't quite go as planned.  It buzzed around her and then landed on her neck. 

Hello, lovely.
