Catchin' hoppers

I'd like to say that no grasshoppers were hurt in the filming of these events, but alas there were many a fallen grasshopper. The fallen grasshoppers were all over the drive way that night. The next morning however the drive way was once again filled with live grasshoppers, so they didn't seem to mind. Maybe next time there won't be as many to fall since the boys are getting better at catching them rather than squishing them.

Funny thing: As i was typing this post and loading the video Ethan came to the back door with the new record grasshopper. I don't know if the pictures does it justice, but that thing was huge. Jaimi (Blake's sis) said something about purple spit she remembers from catching grasshoppers. nothing purple has come from the grasshoppers but we have seen green and brown. eeewwwwww. gross.

Wow! That thing is huge! Ethan sure is a cute boy. :)

I was just thinking that your new driveway lends itself to grasshopper catching much better than your Lindon driveway would have. Probably a little easier to shovel too. (:
