Wasp nests

I kept noticing wasps around my car everytime I started to go someplace. Finally Emily noticed a nest being built on the inside of the door. Not inside the car, but kind of inside the part of the door that’s not visible from either the inside or the outside when it’s shut. But when the door is open, there it is. So we knocked it down with a stick and went on our way.

A couple days later, I’m opening the trunk to put groceries in and I notice a wasp hovering around the back of the car. Sure enough, I open the trunk and in the little hollow space around the edge is a new nest. I think I managed to ditch that wasp at the grocery store. Later we knocked that one down too.

Then today, we get in the car to go somewhere and notice another wasp nest, this time on the passenger side! And then, yet another one being built on my side again. Each one with a wasp crawling around on it. They are determined to make their homes in my car. So we were at the park at some point during the day and I took the pictures below before once again knocking the nests to the ground.

We’ll see how long it takes them to rebuild. I don’t get what is so appealing about my car that they want to make their homes in it.

Found a Geocache today that was less than two blocks from our house. We walked towards it but my GPS wasn’t working at all. Most likely because I hadn’t charged it in several months. So we gave up and got in the car to go other places and I noticed that it started working once I plugged it into the charger. So I drove 2 blocks to the geocache spot and Emily managed to find it stuck to the underside of a fire hydrant with a magnet.

Went to a park, rented some movies, blah blah blah.
