Discovering the Little Inhabitants of the Keweenaw

This weekend was a pretty boring weekend. I am currently nursing an injury that made going out and about exploring almost impossible. Thankfully, I am feeling better today.

For the next few days, I’m pulling from a trip we had last weekend to the breakers. I walked over to a dry grassy spot to take some pictures and all I could hear was some crackling noises coming from the ground. I looked down, and saw TONS of baby grasshoppers jumping every which way.

I called my husband and son over and told them to walk where I just was. Of course, they were wondering why (I tend to practical joke sometimes) but I kept quiet. Our son saw them right away, which led to some chasing of the grasshoppers. He finally caught one, but it got away. Then he caught another and begged me to take a pic:

He also begged to take it home with us, but that’s where mom drew the line :)
