Branson has a crazy abundance of critters and crawly creatures!! Ok, so it's this whole area, and not just Branson. We've had a lot of fun finding and discovering all of these bugs and animals, a lot of which we've never seen "up close and personal" before!
it's a bee!
Ryan-palm sized moth
the spider that sparked the previously-mentioned conversation
grasshopper
pretty beatle
leaf bug
bug
(squirrel)
super scary looking spider
those would be some major webs!
razor back?
cicada? this guy was super noisy!
ok, so you can't see it, but when we went swimming at the beach, we made friends with a see-through yellow fish that was as long as Janey's forearm!
groundhog...found at the school
Taylor observed this guy in order to improve his kung fu skills!
sorry.. don't know names for everyone!
These next two pics are from National Geographic...we weren't able to capture good pics of our own.
We really did see a litter of 4 baby skunks, playing at the edge of a parking lot one evening!
opossum!
And for the next 2, we haven't seen any of these alive...
armadillos... we've only seen roadkill...
ALLIGATOR GAR!!! We haven't actually seen one of these, but they live in our waters around here! They can grow to 10 feet and 300 pounds! Don't worry moms, they don't eat people!!
And here are a few pics of our very own critters!
Tay-zan
Callie Cat
This guy was my favorite friend!! We found him outside our door one day!
I just noticed that the best spider pic didn't upload! Bummer!
But no worries... we'll add it to our next post!

Wow! That is a LOT of critters! My favorites are your children :) Love you!
SICK!!! is all i have to say! I'm just getting to the point of being able to tolerate the idea of smashing a spider if i have a big shoe and someone to give therapy to me afterward. I can't believe you can take pictures of those things...it's kind of giving me the creeps so i'm going to stop thinking about it. :)
