"Woolly Bear Catapiler"

My favorite photo here is the one of the jar.  There is a small brown and black banded caterpillar in this jar.  Rylee found it yesterday in the yard as we were shooting the BB gun.  She promptly put it into a jar, gathered her some food, and declared it to be a girl.  I told Rylee that the jar shouldn't be in direct sunlight, so she covered the sun exposed side with foil taped directly to the wooden planks on the back stairs (scotch tape).  Then she made the sign out of paper, sticks, and scotch tape.  

The sign reads:  "do not toch the fuzzy catapiler in the garr.  Thank you" 

It is complete with a small drawing of the caterpillar.  

The other photos are from our hike up Wheeler canyon, near Pineview Reservoir just east of Ogden. Maya was in my backpack for the majority of the hike, although she and hiked about every 10 minutes.  She was a good sport, and we were only on the trail for about an hour. We just went slow, throwing rocks into the stream, looking for bugs and cool rocks, climbing boulders and hopping logs.

Fun time.
