The Ants go marching 2 by 2, Hoorah! Hoorah!

Harvest Ants are our newest pets!

If you've been around our older son at a park, his affinity to ants may have stood out. We found an ant farm at 80% off at the end of summer ($2.99). For his birthday, his aunt's family populated the farm with Harvest Ants. They arrived before Thanksgiving.

We filled the ant farm with sand to prepare the ant colony's new home. just before placing the ants in, we start their first tunnel for them.


A bit of water is added in case they are thirsty after their long trip to our house.


Cheese!
