A Tarantula Visits!

Sunday morning while Evan and I were enjoying a peaceful breakfast (LJ was still asleep and Barrett was setting up at church), I looked in the living room and noticed a big black spot above the window.... I quickly realized it was a tarantula!!!!  As soon as LJ got up, I pointed it out to him too. He just wanted to touch it and even said he would kill it for us- this kid is NOT afraid of bugs! But I was way too afraid! So we waited for Barrett to get home! 
When Barrett did arrive, he found the biggest Tupperware he could and captured him! It was pretty entertaining- we were both ready for the spider to jump about 8 feet (thanks for the warning Grandad! Haha) and were pretty jumpy ourselves! The boys got to watch, but Barrett did it quickly while I ran to the other room (I was sad to miss it!). 
     
Then we headed outside to release the spider in the creek... 
     
We decided to call him Nemo since he was lost and looking for his family! 
     

Nemo released back into the wild! He walked around for about 4 minutes, and then started digging a hole.... He must've been tried after such a big adventure into our house (which I still have no idea how he got in)! 
Watching him dig and saying good-bye!
