Grasshopper invasion

OK, these pictures do not do it justice but we have a grasshopper infestation in our front flower garden and along the side of the house. It is the most amazing thing!!! If you look closely at the pictures, you can see all of the grasshoppers.There are hundreds of them, all different colors, shapes, sizes, and types. It is so weird. They must have heard that large families are welcome here! You have never seen anything like this. All you hear is hop, hop, hop, almost like large rain drops. It is certainly something to behold!
