Both bees match photos of buff-tailed bumblebees.

Great macro shot.

Interesting his fearless handling. I would not let a bumble bee walk on my hand until I was probably in my 40s!

I have never seen so many carp in one place! Looks like they are starved for oxygen in overheated water.

Invasive Asian clams are everywhere... They have displaced most other freshwater clams here in Ohio.

The lesson learned as I see it… Never bypass a patisserie!! 😊 so glad everything worked out.

Thank goodness Josh came with us on this trip. He still cycles at his home and is invaluable in helping keep the adult to child ratio manageable on this trip. Not sure if he would ever care to repeat the experience though.

Some of our own kids most memorable meltdowns on family trips from their childhood are now firmly entrenched as family lore. They tell their owns kids about the great times they had on those trips, laughing at their reactions atvtge time.
