Day 6 in Missouri

Yesterday we spent the morning riding horses.



We rode through this wooded area and up a hill. Then we tied up the horses and had a picnic.




At this point, I saw some teeny tiny little bugs crawling on Cam. There were a ton of them.



We had to take his pants and one shoe and sock off because they were embedded in his clothes. It turns out they were little micro ticks. They were the size of half a freckle. I'm not even exaggerating.



He had to ride home with no pants.



When we got home, I threw them into the bathtub. Afterwards we pulled handfuls of off of them. It was hard to distinguish between ticks and moles.
