The girls and I took a ride down to The Garden in the Woods to see the "Big Bugs" exhibit.
We saw a lady bug, dragonfly, spider, ants, bumblebee, praying mantis and all kinds of great bugs.The sculptures were situated along the one mile nature trail among beautiful gardens. It was really nice. And on the ride home Caroline said, "That was an excellent adventure, Mom." Getting a comment like that made it worth every penny!

I'm glad you enjoyed David Rogers' BIG BUGS. Special BUG Weekends feature individual insects at New England Wild Flower Society's Garden in the Woods through October 31, 2008. Bugmobiles offer crafts and hands-on bug adventures. The Bug Adventure Bags, available to borrow, at the Museum Store, enhance a child's visit with binoculars, bug box, and journal with crayons for recording images on paper. Submit digital images of the show to bigbugsart@newenglandwild.org. Just 20 miles from Boston, it is a great daytrip.
