Bugfest!

 I can't believe I didn't know Salt Lake had a bugfest! You better bet I bought tickets and was going to go all by myself, but I ended up taking Hannah with me last minute. She loves to look at bugs like I do, more so than the boys so we went together. It was so awesome! It was held in the Natural History Museum downtown and they had lectures and speakers, a bug bar, bug collections, face painting, arts and crafts, and an art gallery featuring bugs. We spent the whole afternoon there. We sat in on a lecture about dragonflies and damselflies, had lunch that included a lemon flavored cupcake with freeze dried ants on it. We sampled the bug bar and ate a cricket salad and Hannah tried the grasshopper taco. Hannah was such a trooper and I loved that she was so willing to  try everything with me. We got our faces painted, and went outside on a bug hunt. We ended up winning free T shirts for turning in our bug list. I learned so much about different bugs and how cool they really are.
