Grasshoppers
When I was a kid I spent considerable time in the pasture behind our house catching grasshoppers and other critters. I thought it was time I introduced my older boys to the fun. We went on a walk in the arboretum (really just a bunch of weeds and russian olives). The boys really did have fun.

i'll come up and catch grasshoppers! do they taste like marshmallows?
Ah yes, they are following in their father's footsteps--next thing you know there will be a rattlesnake in the garage and a boa constrictor in a cage in the family room!
When I was weeding the garden the other day, I found about ten worms for Ethan and he was in heaven. I like the grasshopper shot.
Ever see "What's eating Gilbert Grape" with Johnny Depp & Leonardo DeCaprio? Leo's character catches a grasshopper and 'gillotines' him in the mailbox...Ever try that one Darren?
Did Kevin dare pick up a grasshopper like Ethan?
That was my question, too! Did Kevin pick up a grasshopper??? Such fun!
Yes, after some coaxing Kevin held a grasshopper. No Tyler, I didn't do the mailbox thing.
A couple years ago my kids would catch grasshoppers all the time to feed to my brother-in-laws lizards. One day my wife came across this book on sale at Borders and figured we just couldn't pass it up. I did a quick search on amazon and sure enough...there it was! Its called the North American Grasshopper Guide.
