Ladybug Forest


Have you ever had a magical moment in the middle of an ordinary day? Perhaps if you didn't stumble upon a particular path, or look in a certain direction, you would have missed the most amazing sight! When we were walking home from our picnic, Lizzy wanted to look at some trees we had enjoyed earlier in the day. The kids were walking through some tall grass, when all of sudden Lizzy became excited at spotting a ladybug. We all bent down to admire it, when we found another........and another........and another. There were dozens, if not hundreds of ladybugs hanging on the tall pieces of grass. It was truly breathtaking and amazing! I've never seen anything like it. The kids go bananas at finding a single ladybug, so seeing so many, really stumbling over tons of them, was like hitting the lottery. I was so thankful to Lizzy because if we hadn't walked through this particular section of grass, we would have missed the whole thing. What a lesson in keeping your eyes open, exploring the offbeat path, and soaking in the wonder that is all around.
