First Encounter...

The other day Garrett came running into the house and said, "Mom hurry come outside"  I went outside and a praying mantis was climbing up our pillar.  This was the first time he had ever seen one.  Next thing I know Eric is telling me to get the camera.  I went outside and he had gotten it off the pillar for Garrett to hold.  Garrett thought it was pretty cool.

How can you resist such a cute smile.

Perched on the rock just watching the praying mantis at work.  I guess the day before this Garrett was chasing a grass hopper around the yard and it ended up dying so Eric told him he couldn't play a lot with the praying mantis and just had to watch him.
Can you see it in the grass?
