Packrat Acres

My father in law is an amazing man. He will drop anything at any moment to tend to his children, grandchildren or great grandchildren. Watching him with my own offspring was always an amazing experience. Now, I get to watch him with my grandchildren!

Let me tell you a story about an old man and his junk. Ok, he may be a side character, but it’s still a cute tale about a little girl, a camera and a bug hunt gone … well weird.

First, let me explain to you that Quinn – my three year old granddaughter – and I spend a lot of time hunting bugs with my camera. Last weekend, we decided to visit Pawpaw’s house and see what kind of bugs he has hidden in the bushes. Instead, we found quite a few vehicles. Of course, my sassy little partner stomped right up to him and asked why he has cars in his bushes.

“So Nana can’t see them and make me get rid of them.” Can you guess what the topic of discussion has been?

Anyway, here are some bugs.
