Bugs Galore

The invasion of the cicadas really needs to go away. I felt quite smug that they had not invaded our neighborhood - until now. Within the past few days, I have seen and heard them in our yard. Our first encounter with these ugly creatures - yes they are Ang - was on a campout the first weekend of June. Our middle son, Noah, turned 10 in May and to celebrate, we took 6 of his friends, plus our crew, to Morgan Canoe Livery Campground. O.K. in my defense, it sounded like a good idea, then reality set in. The boys ran around and made as much noise as those icky bugs. Anyway, as Ethan, our 6 year old, was climbing into his tent, we heard a blood-curdling scream. Seems as if 4 of the bugs had found his tent to be a cozy place. Ethan came screaming out of the tent saying "I'm going home" "Those bugs freak me out". So, Ethan and I climb into our van to rest and now anytime he sees the bugs, he says "They freak me out". Oh - we slept in the van the whole night, along with the birthday boy because he had a headach and it stormed during the night. Sounds like fun doesn't it!
Happy Father's Day to all of our friends out there! My hubby is spending today and the rest of the week with our oldest, David, at Boy Scout Camp in Ray, Ohio. God Bless Him!
