The CK Daily – Birthdays, Bugs & Fun!
Happy Monday!
Today, I’m recovering from a busy weekend. On Saturday we went over to my wife’s cousin’s house to celebrate his 50th birthday in the small sleepy town of Gillsville, Georgia (population 308 in 2022). The birthday party turned out to be a pool party, so the kids jumped in and had a blast swimming around with their cousins. We had a great time catching up with family we hadn’t seen in a while and even though it rained a little, we still enjoyed the time outside.
On Sunday, we spent more time outdoors doing yard work between the off and on showers and the kids found a new favorite activity. There has been an overabundance of roly-poly bugs (also known as isopods, woodlouse, pill bugs, slaters, potato bugs, butchy boys, and doodle bugs, but we mostly call them roly polies in the South), and my daughters love to catch them and have them roll up or crawl over their hands. They spent hours catching these bugs and playing with them. Who knew bugs could provide so much entertainment? Fun fact, when the roly-poly rolls up into a ball it’s called conglobation.
Well, that’s all I have for today, hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!
