Suck 'em up!

My sister, Nicole, found a gift that had Mackenzie written all over it for her birthday. All the kids were jealous when Mack unwrapped this bug vacuum!

Not to be left out, Mason tagged along with us while we scouted for bugs ( and by " tagged along" I mean fussed and cried REAL tears until I just couldn't deny him). Last week, he played in the sand box for the first time and since then  is set on having his hands and...mouth.. dirty as much as possible.
