Caterpillars/100th Post!!

Not much in the way of news to report other than the three new family members to the Boyd Household! We have adopted three Black Swallowtail Caterpillars/Butterflies from our back yard and have had the best time watching them grow and eat! Two have now formed a chrysalis and the other is well on his way to getting pleasantly plump enough to do so too! We can't wait for them to turn into butterflies and to release them back outside!

Jack is so interested in them and is having a blast telling everyone he can about them so we made this video yesterday to put on the blog so everyone could learn all about his caterpillars!

Here are a few other pictures of his friends - all named (by Jack) Caterpillar Arrington Boyd.

In other news it's definitely apple season so this weekend we went out to the orchard and picked some apples to make our first apple pie of the season! It was so much fun!! Enjoy the pics!

Pulling VERY hard to get the apples off!

Getting one a little higher up with Daddy!

Deciding which row to pick from next...
