The Ant Farm

So today was the day that the ant's from ant works came in to day. They came in this little vial and there was about 20 of them inside. I brought them in the house and pulled out there new home and prepared it for them. I poked 4 holes in there to get them started, the thing is the gel in side that was designed by NASA for some Anit-Gravity experiment, was old so there was a space in between the plexiglass and gell. So when I dumped the little suckers in they went right for the little space. I left them alone and went outside skateboard, when I returned they had started digging at the bottom. Now if I am correct, aren't ants supposed to dig holes at the top and make tunnels underground? I don't think they caught on very well because they made this weird tunnel at the bottom of it. I left again and made a few errands with my dad and came back to see they made some type of wall, something similar that you would see if you were to go rock climbing. It looked like they were trying to use it as a ladder or something to climb from the top to bottom. I don't know, all I know is that they better starting making some tunnels.

I'll come back and post something else about this ants when they start to do something.

So we have been asking for a pet for the longest. We did have some fish but them little sukers died. We asked for a dog but couldn't get one nor did we get a cat we asked for. Then one day my dad says he's going to get our pet Monday. I got super excited and quickly asked what he was getting us. He looked at me and said, "An Ant Farm" I was trippen after that saying why do we gotta get an ant farm. Then he starts to explain why. "They don't make a mess, don't gotta get them shots, don't gotta feed them and all you have to do is grab a magnifing glass and look at them. I just went alon with what he was saying and tagged along with him to the pet store to get our new friends. When we got home we popped open the box already being told before that we have to orcer the ants. It was a farm from AntWorks. It has some Gell inside that had to do something with NASA for all I know. I did some research and watched a video and from what I know now they live for about 3 months, they eat the blue gell inside and make tunnels all day. Kinda boring if you ask me but in a way it's a little bit exciting. I wanna see them go at it fighting, maybe I'll get a half way dead ant and throw it in there fr them and see what they do to it, lol. But the Ants do come until Next week so when I get them I'll be back on here talling you about them, I'll take some pictures to. All this weekend I'll be blogging so see ya!
