With Granny Florida at the NJBG



Had a great day with the boys and my Mom at the NJ Botanical Garden in Ringwood on Wednesday (the 8th) last week.

Flowers really weren't in full stride but it was just great being out with family in the verdant Skylands of NJ.

Got Reed & Hunter to walk more than typical but ended up carrying them back simultaneously to the car about a 1/2 mile.

We caught a frog that still had it's tadpole tail (& I inexplicably took no photos of it!), R&H touched a statue's "junk", found a pond I had never seen before. Cant wait to go back!

Click Beetle

I caught a click beetle outside & brought it in to show the boys. Click beetles can snap their head and thorax to flip them into the air and right side up if on their back or to startle predators.

We were all entertained as I have never seen a click beetle so frenetic in its clicking.

After a moment the beetle took flight and we were unable to recapture it.

Reed: "I'm gonna miss that little guy; I loved him."

Big Laugh



Visited Bear Mtn last weekend with the boys and hated the place. It was so crowded, dirty and sleazy I couldn't wait to get outta there.

I like it much more on weekdays in the Fall vie Seven Lakes Drive.

We did have some fun and this photo captured a great moment!

Reed Dresses Hunter




Some nights, Reed proudly dresses his little brother Hunter.

Hunter loves it.

We all love it!
