Nature hates me
So Chris and Kaylee and mom and I went to Cross Timbers State Park the other day. Intended to just drive around and look at the lake, but when we saw one of the nature trails we decided to go for a walk.
What I was thinking was, "Cool spiderweb! Hey, is that a . . . yeah, that's a deer. Quick, try to get a picture!" (I did not. My camera-fu is not very strong) What I should have been thinking was, "Remember how mosquitoes always head right for you? That means ticks are probably even worse, and here you are walking around without bug spray and in sandals, you idiot."
Alas, I did not think that. Now I could play an extended game of connect-the-dots on my legs. Kaylee, fortunately, didn't inherit my bug magnet genes, so she's fine.
From now on I will only go for nature hikes in the winter.
