The present that stole the show was an ant farm. Pooh-pooed by the uncles, I knew she had a hit as soon as Mason opened it. He marveled at the picture on the front, the larger-than-life ants crawling through the tunnels (This particular ant farm has a gel instead of dirt to allow all to see the ants wherever they may be). The night we got home from out trip, I found Mason curled up asleep with the yet-unopened box. I knew right then that I had to order some ants to make this dream a reality.
Twenty minutes online and $5.95 later, I was the future, proud owner of 20-25 carpenter ants that I would receive in 7-10 days. Those days came today and I opened the envelope to discover a vial of ants (of which most were alive). After dinner, we broke out the ant farm and carefully followed the instructions.
I will keep you up to date on how the ants are doing. So far, just a lot of walking around.

You should've just left a pizza box open. You would've at least gotten pizza for your $5.95 in addition to some ants. Maybe even some roaches too. I bet that company would make you pay extra for roaches!
I want to see a picture of the ant home in a few days! Were you able to get a queen ant? That way you can have eleventy billion ants in no time!

I will post a follow up. They have already tunneled 3 inches or so in about 48 hours. No queen. Just workers.
