Grandma Cindy invited us to Bug Day at the organic farm in Carmel Valley. This is a monthly release of lady bugs in the fields. The farmers give us a tour and explain the different techniques to organic farming and then hand out lady bugs for the kids and visitors to release.
Cameron paid attention to what everyone what everyone was saying and then went out into the fields with Grandma. Grandma Cindy pointed out the black aphids on the Fava Bean plants and then a lady dressed as a big Lady Bug handed out the bugs for release.
Cameron was a little unsure at first but after watching Grandma and Mommy release the bugs she took several handfuls and put them on the plants. The tour guides showed Cameron what lady bug eggs and larvae looked like.
After the release Cameron stayed in the fields and played in the dirt. She gathered lots of rocks which is her new favorite thing to do while hiking. Afterwards she ate her free snack and then played in the Kids Garden and climbed a tree. We finished the day by having lunch at a local restaurant and exploring a succulent nursery and garden store. Cameron loved exploring the gardens and picking out plants and pots. Mommy got a few things for the house and backyard (which is almost done).
