Since Natalie didn't have time to ride her big wheel last night, we went out to ride today. First, we rode the pink car around for a few minutes since we hadn't done that in a while. It was a good test drive for a while.
Then, Natalie took a break by sitting at a pine tree. I didn't think much about it...it was only about 50 degrees, not really warm. But, in the midst of thinking of other things while she played, I looked down. And, horror struck me as I saw and mentally counted quickly about a hundred fire ants on her outfit. The "nest" wasn't apparent as it rained the night before. I quickly snatched her up and started removing layers of clothing. As I carried her to the house, I threw the outer clothing and jacket in a pile. Then, we went inside for a bath. She had already been bitten 3 or 4 places by this time. But, with all the excitement, she still took a nap. Mommy took a nap too, after wishing there were some way to exterminate all the fireants out of the yard.
