Celebrating Ella's birthday at Curtis Orchard

We went to Curtis Orchard yesterday to celebrate Ella's birthday with some of our friends from C.A.R.E. We were minus a few due to the outbreak of illness in the area; somehow we managed to avoid it and I'm thankful!

One thing we didn't avoid was the horrible infestation of these tiny black biting bugs. According to Harley Quinn, they are called pirate bugs. They were everywhere! On our clothes, in our hair. The kids didn't really seem to notice, but they were running around so I think the bugs couldn't catch them! But all of us moms were constantly swatting them away, or killing the ones that had just bitten us.

Although the bugs put a damper on the afternoon, we still had a nice time seeing our friends.

We're sorry we missed it! Aside from the attack of the killer bugs, it looked like fun! It sounds like Ella had a few awesome days of birthday fun!
