Bug Day

The Newton clan attended "Bug Day" at the Idaho Botanical Garden Saturday. The Garden's one of those places I've always meant to go to, but haven't quite gotten around to it. The Garden was much more impressive than the Bug Day festivities.

Most of the volunteers were there because bugs (or, oddly enough, Master Gardening) was their thing--not because they were a. good with kids; b. interested in teaching kids. Some were rude, some arrogant, some too busy talking with parents to bother with the kids the day was supposed to be for, some clueless. Those volunteers who were good, were very good, tho.

Kids learned a little, had a lot of fun. And we got out of the house--something we intend to do a lot more than we do on the weekends.
