In reply to Tamara. I googled and googled and couldn't decide which kind it was that I picked off of Dan. They all look the same to me!

It’s a great daddy photo!
We have ticks all over New England and I get so upset if I see one near my kids! Usually we get the dog ticks, which don’t seem to spread Lyme, but I’m always aware.

In reply to queenmommyjen. Hey, that's a pretty good record. I had a few run-ins with them when I was a child. They used to burn them out of me with cigarette lighters. Ha! We didn't have any of those on hand this time.

In reply to Daddy-O. What! No, you haven't. And let me tell ya, the tick in Dan's head was FAT, which helped me to spot him.

Oh my gosh that tick story! I have never had a run in with a tick before, but Jen’s Guy has had loads of experience with those nasty things! Happy Father’s Day to all of the great men in your life!

April, thanks so much for the kind words.

From the looks of the photo of me and Alan, I’ve gotten as fat as a tick (pun intended).

In reply to Rebecca Krusee. Small world! This means we are actually neighbors!! We just happen to be on vacation right now, but the boys are no longer allowed to play in the woods across the street from our house b/c the neighbors found so many ticks on their kids.....that plus it took Joshua a month to get over his massive poison oak reaction.
