NATURE IS IN HER SOUL

Sierra loves the outdoors she is continually asking if we can please have a house on the ground, so she can have a backyard and have a garden and a little house in a tree. I try to appease her by taking her for a walk or taking her to play outside at least once a day. As we were walking the other day, she pointed out that there were mushrooms growing out of the ground.
She found a lady bug on the ground. She caught it in her hands and brought it up to the apartment. She played (tortured) the ladybug for hours. She was so excited about her find.
Then the next day we went outside and there were thousands of ladybugs swarming under the building. She thought it was the coolest thing and ran around collecting lady bugs and placing them in the seat of her tricycle. In this picture you can almost see her expression she is overjoyed to be holding a ladybug.
Then she spotted a squirrel. She loved that.
Then as she was biking around the tennis courts she found another bug that looked a lot like a mosquito, although it wasn't. She was so excited. She said, "Dad will be so proud of me when he sees that I caught this bug for him." With that she plopped the bug on all of the tens of ladybugs she caught and gave them a really fast ride around the tennis courts for half an hour. She yelled, "The bugs are lovin' this ride, huh mom?"
