What???? Your daughter is soooo cute.. what is with all the spiders.

From Burt on Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 17:07:09 from 71.216.109.214

Hi Britta! We found them along the canal that belongs to the water district I work for. Do you like them?

From Tara on Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 17:41:44 from 75.169.143.6

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! That's for your back. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's for the pic.

You big dork Tara! Now every time someone comes to leave a comment on today's blog, they're going to see this big wide old screen. lol!

From ACorn on Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 22:30:32 from 24.2.76.146

Holy spiders! Sorry about the back pain El Burto or Alberto.

From Burt on Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 22:37:52 from 72.223.86.148

No pain, no gain Adan y Eva. Or no pain, no Ragnar.

Yeah, right. I've run Ragnar with pneumonia. A little bulging disc can't stop me!

From Tara on Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 23:08:41 from 75.169.143.6

You're welcome.

From flatlander on Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 12:51:46 from 198.207.244.102

I guess that settles it, they don't bite?

From Burt on Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 13:52:17 from 71.216.109.214

Oh, they bite. But only when agitated. And they're not poisonous.

From RAD on Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 14:14:08 from 98.202.23.178

did I mention I'm not a fan of spiders? or pain? I'm with Emily on this one.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 18:42:33 from 69.131.141.92

Awesome picture! Sorry about the back though. Maybe you can have the spiders bite you on the arm and your back will seem less painful by comparison.

From Burt on Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 23:38:57 from 72.223.86.148

I know what I'm getting RAD for Christmas!

Joe - or maybe the spider bites would act like acupuncture and cure my back!

From DaleG on Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 23:40:48 from 152.216.11.5

Use the force to heal your back.

From Burt on Wed, Sep 12, 2012 at 23:50:19 from 72.223.86.148

Do Jedis use the force to heal themselves or robotic arms?

From DaleG on Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 00:02:59 from 66.87.126.245

If I were a Jedi, I would certainly try. What have you got to lose.

From julieesplin on Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 13:25:18 from 75.169.181.166

Wow! I can't believe she will sit that close! Her facial expression is so cute.

From Burt on Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 15:25:02 from 72.223.86.148

She was actually trying to smile.

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 18:10:48 from 71.49.55.78

How adorable! Emily is cute too!
