Wander likes camping. The girls like camping. However, the schedule has been too busy to actually go camping. So, Wander decided to invite the girls to camp out in the back yard. Unfortunately our full size tent doesn't fit in the back yard. Wander figured that wasn't a problem. We'd just sleep under the stars. He set up a tarp with all the sleeping bags and pads and pillows. We snuggled in, but the only one of us who could get to sleep was Glitter. Invisible bugs kept Sparkle and me too busy slapping and scratching. At first Wander didn't believe us because *he* didn't get any bites. After a few hours we gave up and trooped back into the house to sleep with walls and a roof between us and the bugs.
Over a day later the bug bites were even more pronounced.
Here is Sparkle's face. Her right eye was swollen shut and her left ear ballooned to twice its normal size.
Glitter somehow managed to fall asleep despite all these bites. The other side of her face was just as bad.
