From our backyard


The kids made a rather alarming discovery in our backyard. They found this water scorpion. It actually is an insect, but takes its name from its similar appearance to a scorpion.

From what I read, they are not harmful, but may pinch if provoked. We released it in a lake about 30 minutes away when we were there for a picnic last week.

The girls were very excited to see your scorpion picture. We are printing off the picture and putting it on our missionary board. We have a missionary board for your family in our Sunday School classroom and we are updating all of our pictures on that board, using your blog site picture.
Have you received our box yet?
