Sam took a picture of Gwen the other day holding a praying mantis (last picture). When I saw the praying mantis I screamed and locked myself in the laundry room until I knew it was gone. Then when I put the picture on my computer I started to notice just how many pictures we have of Gwen holding different creepy crawlies. Everything she's held -- I have not - and don't think I could get myself to.
Anyways -- it was fun looking back and seeing her grow up and hold the little critters.
Here's baby Gwenny holding her first salamander -- she wasn't quite sure about them yet.......
Here she is with a sea star..........
Much more comfortable with the salamanders here..............
This was a huge, fat slug that she held onto forever when we were camping. It took me forever to scrape off all of the nasty goo it left on her skin.................
Fishing with dad.....................
another salamander.....................
Fishing derby --- Addie would barely hold one in a bag -- Gwenny dug her fingers right in..........
Crab................................................
baby chicks -- really not too gross -- but pretty stinky..........
And then there was the praying mantis.........
A couple of weeks ago we were at a park and Sam caught a snake in the grass -- she of course held that too -- but we didn't get a pic.

That's awesome! What a savage!
She is SO cute!
i love it, she's definetley sam's daughter! i'll never forget many of the wards at different times chasing me with all kids of gross bugs. we do homeschool once a week with a family and one of the girls loves bugs and is always freeking elisiva out with them. its hard to teach her not to be afraid when i dont care for them very much myself either. but i do wish i could have laughed at you locking yourself in the laundry room. :)
