Daddy woke the kids up with a surprise. He was working in the garage when he came upon a praying mantis. He caught it and came in and woke the kids for their impromptu science lesson. Both kids were awake and ready to learn in no time. We studied it with our magnifying glasses and watched it move.
We then went outside and released it on the tree trunk. It wouldn't come out on it's own we had to help it. It moved pretty quick once it was out of the jar. The kids were fascinated.
We got some cool close-up pictures of it. They are very interesting looking insects.
Later that morning daddy came back in and said he had discovered eggs on the side of the house. We all headed out again. He set up the ladder and we examined those eggs with our magnifying glasses.
