The Mutant Grasshopper

We were out running errands this morning and Kaeden was dying to go through the car wash. So before going through I stopped at the vacuums to clean the car out.

Kaeden SCREAMS from the back seat... 'WOOK mama a BIG gwasshupper!!!!'

I look out the window and see this... (click on the pic to see the full size version, its better that way!)





HOLY FREAKING GRASSHOPPER BATMAN!!!!

Seriously.

I was a little scared to get close enough to take a picture. I don't know what I thought it was gonna do to me but I was a little nervous. lol. Too bad all I had was my point and shoot cam in my purse. :( I could have gotten REAL close with my big camera's lens.

Needless to say I threw my car in reverse and used the OTHER vacuum. :)

Not quite as big as the ones at MOSH, but the same kind, I think. Should do a side by side...........
