Diving for Sharks

It was quite the adventurous afternoon at our house yesterday. Two little men with imaginations only dwarfed by their personalities played together like good little friends do.

Quite brave little boys, willing to take on the sharks by diving underneath their pirate boat, wrestling with tigers, jumping over crocodiles. Gee, aren't imaginations great. Real life adventures on the other hand can be a little more frightening...

There it stood, on the outside table, all green and insect looking. A praying mantis, a big mamma of one too might I add. Its back was to them, dancing in the autumn afternoon. They taunted it, growling like monsters and watching the way it scuttled along the table top. But then the unthinkable happened - it about faced, creeping forward in rather a hurry. Then **poof**, David Edinbourough jnr & Steve Irwin jnr turned instantly back into a couple of screaming, giggly little preschoolers. It was without a doubt the most amusing part of the afternoon - and my bet is that they'll choose diving with sharks over exploring insects next time they play together.
