Crickets and skeletons and butterflies, oh my!

I met up with a friend last week and we went to the bug museum in Bremerton.  Pretty cool place, all kinds of dead and alive arachnids, various butterflies, ladybugs, and  large-ass stick like creatures from the far reaches of the jungles of Earth, which no doubt, tickled Adam.  After purchasing our obligatory trinketry at the gift shop, a frog house for outside and a butterfly kit for Adam, Adam spied something that he really, really just had to try.  A freeze dried, crispy cricket inside a delicious candy lollipop.  Mmm who does't want to eat a Gryllus Assimilus on a stick?  (Yes, I had to look up the scientific definition of cricket!)    How many licks did it take for Adam to get to the cricket?  One bite was all it took:

He channeled his inner Ozzy Osbourne and went right for that little freeze dried head.  Bit it clean off.  I would post a close up "after" picture of him devouring that deliciousness, but for the faint of heart and stomach, I shall refrain!  He was especially proud as he drew "ewwwws and icks!" from all his friends there with him.  I don't know if I have a cool little rock star in the making, or the kid whom everyone at the playground will run from!

In other news, Adam finally came to the realization the other morning that Carlos the zombie in his room, did indeed appear to creepy and lifelike - so....he was replaced with Rockerfeller, the grim reaper decor we had greeting the kiddo's at Halloween:

Because, of course, the grim reaper isn't creepy at all!
