Bugfest!

Last Saturday, while Cameron was off flirting with beautiful, ESPN, sideline reporters, the boys and I went to the BUGFEST! Unbeknownst to me, this free event happens every year in downtown Raleigh. Who knew?
We got there just in time for Charlie and Levi to enter 3 “Olympic” events: "The Ant Race", "The Boulder Roll" and "The Pollen Catcher". They both took gold medals!





After the races, we moseyed on over to catch a glimpse of the "Flea Circus". Levi didn't have much patience for that, so we proceeded to the caterpillar bouncy thingy. It was kind of funny how they entered through the mouth and came out of it’s butt! Here is Levi pulling Charlie out. LOL



We all shared a slushy and then went to make a bet on which cockroach would win the "Roachingham 500". I guessed the Purple would win; Charlie yellow and Levi blue. Charlie's cockroach won by a mile (well, actually about a yard). Levi's only got about half way down the stretch, and my cockroach didn't even make it out of the starting gate! Levi and I got a spider ring as our consolation prizes. Charlie got a bug that grows when you stick it in water. Isn't that wonderful.



For the rest of the time we walked around and did other fun stuff; chalk writing, sand sculpting, following "stilt man" and jamming out to some band that was destroying some good oldies music and telling bad bug jokes. It was a great day with my boys!
