Cactus Bugs, Father’s Day and Black Pot

The family and I went to check out this place that harvest the juices of these bugs that live on cacti and use the juice as a natural dye for hundreds of different things. It was pretty neat to actually learn the processes of harvesting dyes from the bugs and other plants. We then went to a store that sells black pottery; they had some pretty interesting pieces.

We made it back to the house where I got hired on as co-nanny for the evening. I actually got to call and talk to mom and dad for a bit (since I missed dad on father’s day), and I talked to Kimberly (but don’t tell anyone). Before thinking, “what a horrible child care worker” it was on my break; my co-captain was taking the kids out for ice cream. The old people didn’t get back until midnight, so I crashed on the couch at Jorge’s.
