Snails

When it rains here the snails come out. It is the strangest thing to me - we have snails. And Ally loves them. She likes anything kind of creepy crawly - worms, bugs, and snails. It has to be preschool, because as my mother knows, I am not a big bug person. But Ally is fascinated with this stuff. After it rains she looks for all the snails she can find. One day she and her babysitter found 37 on the way to store (its about 3 blocks away). Ally knows where they hide and where some live and is always on the look out for them. One day Becky found a bunch in the yard for Ally to observe and interact with. She is so gentle with them.

They are kind of cute

Especially when they try to escape the red bucket Ally put them in. She did let them all free when we were done playing.
