Bugs

Recently I was able to capture some neat shots.
I really liked these Lazy Susans but when I bent down, I
saw this Praying Mantis just staring at me!
My mother actually pointed this out to me. I'm so glad she did!
I want to turn this into a "hang in there!!" poster. :)

Festival of the Little Hills

Every August brings the Festival of the Little Hills here in St. Charles.
It's a booth-style craft festival that is a crazy melting pot of higher-end crafting and touristy stuff. Somehow it always winds up being on the hottest weekend of the summer but this year it was downright pleasant!
After getting sticky while eating our annual homemade ice cream sandwiches from the Presbyterian Church, we rinsed off.

The smell of Kettle Corn was so inviting but I resisted!
You can find anything and everything at the Festival.
From lawn furniture to painted gourds to tie dyed Fruit of the Looms!
Kisses from Daddy
Me and the Hubster stopped for a quick snapshot.
Can't wait until next year!
