We continued with our nature studies and took a hike early in September at Sugar Creek Conservation Area.
It was gorgeous and fun until we decided to go off the beaten path a bit.......
and found ourselves covered in THOUSANDS of tiny, demonic seed ticks. I've never in my life seen so many ticks at one time. We learned that seed ticks are just baby ticks that are ready to and waiting for their host. Ticks lay thousands of eggs in their nest and we just happened to be the "lucky" ones to disturb their nest and become host to these annoying baby ticks. Unfortunately for Noah and Me, who were in the lead, we were the most affected. As luck would have it [insert sarcasm], we are both very sensitive to these bites. I blame the fair skin. Good lesson learned this day!!
Moving on...
School is going well. We are loving our new found freedom of schedule and the added time to grow those family bonds.
