Ant farm

Spencer's tummy is still a little iffy, so we took it easy today. We got to enjoy the nice weather a bit and Spencer decided he wanted to find some ants for the ant farm he got for Christmas. Since we seem to have a large nest near the house it was easy to find ants. They were a little on the small side, but we collected ones that were the requisite 1/4 inch (have you ever tried to measure a moving ant?). After 6 ants the kids got bored, so that's the population of our farm. I hope they live at least a day.
