Last Sunday we drove to Morton Arboretum to have a picnic and experience the Cidadas. For those who are not familiar with these bugs--they bury themselves deep in the ground shortly after birth and don't come back up for seventeen years! This year is their year. They are quite ugly, make a ton of noise and completely harmless. Such an interesting phenomenon. We haven't had any around our neighborhood because it is mostly new development, but neighborhoods with old trees are abuzz.

Henry and Elsa love a good picnic. . .or at least the punch. I think that is all they ate.

I added this picture for you Kimberly. Plus--Ansel just doesn't get enough on screen time.
