The day Holly and Olive "almost died"

Holly and Olive are great at one line summaries, me... not so much, so here it goes.

Holly Olive and I had a great time in Indianapolis, we went to see art and gardens and wasps...no wait that wasn't part of it. 
So for the longest time Holly and Olive are sitting on this bench, its an old bench, the kind that is cast iron with holes in the seat and back. So they have been sitting there for a least 15-20 minutes, when a wasp flies up to holly's side and lands under the bench. I having no problem with flying bugs sit still while holly pops up at lemur speed with olive in tow. Now she was trying to protect olive and i was in her way hence her threat of breaking my legs if i dont move.  But i know she would have done this without olive in tow. Because bees and wasps are out to kill her.
So she gets out of harms way but me being the curious type peak under the bench and this is what i find.



This is worth clicking on to get a bigger view.
So right under her cute toosh were about 10 or so wasps building a nest.  I walked over to holly told her she was a survivor and showed her the picture i took.  She said it made her want to throw up.  She felt covered in wasps and hebbie-jeebies for the next while.  I always have known she has bravery in her but when it comes to bees or wasps she has guts as long as she doesn't see them.
