Braving the Michigan plague

Today was such a beautiful day! Not burning hot like it was when we first moved in. We've been enjoying cooler cloudy days, which make playing outside much more enjoyable. Except for the mosquitoes. I never knew the meaning of mosquitoes until I moved to Michigan. When you walk on the grass you are immediately enveloped in a CLOUD of mosquitoes. The first time we spent time outside I sprayed my arms, but when Jed told me to spray my ankles I thought, "nah, I'll be fine." I am still suffering from about 10 red dime-sized mosquito bites all over my ankles. What's even sadder is that Benjamin got a huge mosquito bite just under his right eye, and his eye/cheek is all puffy and red now. Not to mention the other bites on his legs. He calls them something like 'see-goo bites'. This place breeds mosquitoes!
