"Pesty" Box Elder Bugs

This afternoon Katie and Allie decided they wanted to enjoy the beautiful afternoon at a park and it was decided that the "Soccer" Park, a park where they played their spring soccer games at, was the park they wanted to go to.  We packed our soccer balls and headed off to enjoy the wonderful fall weather.  What we didn't expect was the swarms of box elder bugs that were waiting for us at the playground!  I do not mind bugs and the girls are not that squeamish about insects but the amount of bugs at this park was even more than I could handle!  Katie told me to please keep the "pesty" bugs away and Allie finally told me that enough was enough, please can we go home!  Before we left we headed over to the soccer fields and kicked some balls for a while.  Katie and Allie looked so small on the big, regulation field.  It was a fun afternoon despite the bug invasion!
