into the wild

we journeyed to southern arkansas to see aunt jan and uncle billy and explore their endless acres of wilderness.

preparing to talk a walk/hike, jan pulled out these homemade fly nets for us to weari thought it was a joke, so i took mine off after the laughter and the photo opp.
and we walked.

zach was on the lookout for wild pigs

gracie caught tons of these tiny frogs along the path
and about a half mile into the walk... it was attack of the horse flies. the nets were not a joke anymore. glad mine was in my pocket :)

hannah fit all the way inside hers.
i was wishing for a full body net. or at least long pants. oops.
