Attack of The Wasps

We are now back home from Grandma's house, but we didn't leave before Kensley had a few more unfortunate mishaps. One day she was outside playing when all of the sudden she was screaming bloody murder. We went running to see what happened and she wouldn't tell us, of course, but was holding her cheek. I was able to pry her hand away for just a second and could see that she had been stung by something. It was pretty traumatic for her, but she survived the encounter and within an hour was playing again. My mom went outside a day or so later to investigate and see if she could find any wasp nests, but she couldn't find anything. So, the day before we left, Kensley was again playing outside and again started screaming bloody murder. I ran outside and this time she was holding her arm and freaking out 10 times worse than the first time. She was completely hysterical and shaking like crazy because it hurt so bad. It took a while to calm her down and investigate the damage and this time she had been stung a total of SIX times! Poor baby. Even after she was pretty calm, her arm was still shaking. She had four sting marks on her arm, one on her finger and one on her belly. This time, my mom did some further investigating based on where Kensley was standing when she freaked out and was able to find a small wasp nest with at least 20 wasps flying around. So, she murdered the wasps with some spray and all was well again. Kensley still talks about when the bees got her. So sad. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures with all of the chaos surrounding the event.
