Girls Day Out and Lunch With Bugs

Grandpa's Gone, Coleen's bored and Grandma and Granny just want to get out of the house for a little while.  So we pack an "impromptu" lunch and head off to the mountains for a picnic.

Lunch is great and you can see that Coleen was ready to eat in this next photo:

We did however have some unexpected lunch visitor's flying around and landing on our plates and in our hair.  Besides the normal pesky wasps (how do they find food so doggone quick anyway?)....there were loads (and I mean "LOADS" of.....
these critters everywhere.

Can you guess what they are in this photo?  Yes, it's "blurry" but all that brown/orange stuff on the tree trunk is not bark.

Here are a couple more photo's...

These are believe it or not....Ladybugs! - They were everywhere, especially on the trunks of all the trees.  You could see them flying around through the air as well.  Several landed in our Chicken box and I'd have to pick them out and set them free.  Thankfully none of us ate any!

We didn't stay long because of the bugs but it was still a nice little outing.  One last picture up close before we go:

Would you believe there was a woman there trying not to step on any of them.  I mean come on...there were thousands of them everywhere so how could you possibly not step on at least one.
