Yesterday while playing outside Gavin found himself a caterpillar nestled in his orange shovel, and he of course named his newfound friend "Hermie."
Gavin holding Hermie...Mama was a little creeped out. I kept a distance while I took the picture. I'm not really into crawly things...
Haley poking Hermie
Grampy stopped by for a visit just in time for Gavin to show him Hermie
"Look Grampy! Hermie!"
Hermie crawling away
Grampy stayed to enjoy some of the cream soda I've been raving about :) (Recipe below)
He also brought us a movie I've been wanting to see :)
Other great shots I love from yesterday

Ingredients you will need:
- 2 Cups of raw cane sugar
- 1 Cup of water
- 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
- Club soda
- Splash of organic heavy cream
- cubed or crushed ice if desired
Directions
Stir sugar and water together in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Once liquid is transparent, remove from heat. Stir in vanilla and allow to cool at room temperature. Transfer the "syrup" into a glass container (I used a large mason jar). Chill in fridge.
Once syrup is chilled you can prepare your cream soda. Pour 3 Tablespoons of syrup into a tall glass with ice. Fill with approximately 8oz of club soda. Add a splash of heavy cream and enjoy!
